Arugula Salad With Anchovy Dressing image

Peppery, crisp arugula stands up nicely to the punch of this garlicky, anchovy-filled dressing. You can adjust the dressing's pungency by adding more or fewer anchovies. The dressing will keep for a few days in the fridge, but the oil will solidify, so remember to take it out at least an hour before serving, and shake it really well.

Time 10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup lemon juice (from 1 large lemon), plus more if needed
2 fat garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
2 to 4 anchovies, or more to taste
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 quarts arugula (about 1 pound)
Flaky sea salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine lemon juice, garlic and kosher salt. Let sit for 2 minutes, then add anchovies and parsley, and blend to combine.
  • With blender running, drizzle in oil until emulsified. Taste and add more lemon or kosher salt if necessary.
  • In a large bowl, toss together arugula and just enough of the dressing to coat the leaves (you may not need all of it). Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and pepper and serve immediately.

This salad was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's just because I used too many anchovies in the dressing. Next time I'll use less and see if that makes a difference.

I'm not a huge fan of anchovies, but I decided to try this salad anyway and I'm glad I did! The anchovy dressing was surprisingly delicious and the arugula was really fresh. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love arugula salads and this one is no exception. The anchovy dressing is a great way to add some extra flavor and the tomatoes and Parmesan cheese add a nice touch. I would definitely recommend this salad to others.

I thought this salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit too fishy for my taste and the arugula was a bit too peppery. I think I'll stick to my regular Caesar salad recipe.
