BON APPETIT'S ARUGULA SALAD WITH LEMON-PARMESAN DRESSING



Bon Appetit's Arugula Salad With Lemon-Parmesan Dressing image

Found on the epicurious.com website via Bon Appetit April 2009. "(This)makes a great side dish, but this salad is even better as a pizza topping. Brush the with olive oil, sprinkle it with sea salt and shredded mozzarella, then bake. When the pizza comes out of the oven, top it with the salad." Note: the lemon flavor in the dressing is very pronounced. *Update 1 January 2012*: I prepared this last week again but had no standard lemons on hand and substituted Meyer lemon juice and zest. Wow! fyi, cg

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (asiago, reggiano, etc. can replace Parmesan if you wish)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (*fresh*!)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
4 cups packed baby arugula (rocket)
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes (I omitted the tomatoes because my main dish contained them) or 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, minced (I omitted the tomatoes because my main dish contained them)
1 tablespoon pine nuts (my addition) or 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts, toasted (my addition)

Steps:

  • Blend salad dressing ingredients in a mini food processor. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Cover; chill up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before tossing the dressing with the greens.
  • Combine arugula and tomatoes in large salad bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat.
  • Garnish with pine nuts or walnuts.
  • Servings are estimated.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, young arugula. Older arugula can be tough and bitter.
  • Wash the arugula thoroughly. Arugula can be gritty, so it's important to wash it well before using.
  • Dry the arugula thoroughly. Wet arugula will dilute the dressing and make the salad soggy.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing. Arugula is a delicate green, so you don't want to overpower it with dressing.
  • Add other ingredients to taste. Some popular additions to arugula salad include cherry tomatoes, shaved Parmesan cheese, grilled chicken, or roasted nuts.

Conclusion:

Arugula salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its peppery flavor and bright green color, arugula is a great way to add some variety to your salad routine.
