ARUGULA SALAD WITH ANCHOVY DRESSING



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.

Yield 4-6 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salad:
4 cups fresh baby arugula leaves
2 cups fresh baby salad greens
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup shaved or shredded fresh parmesan cheese
Lemon-Garlic Dressing
1 clove garlic minced
6 Tsp olive oil
4 Tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp spicy Dijon mustard

Tips for Making the Best Arugula Salad with Lemon-Garlic Dressing:

  • Use fresh, tender arugula: The fresher the arugula, the better your salad will be. Look for arugula that is bright green and has no signs of wilting.
  • Wash the arugula thoroughly: Arugula can be gritty, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before using it. Rinse the arugula under cold water and then pat it dry with a salad spinner or paper towels.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The lemon-garlic dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it easy to assemble the salad when you're ready to serve it.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way with arugula salad. Use just enough dressing to coat the leaves lightly.
  • Add other ingredients to your liking: Arugula salad is a great base for adding other ingredients, such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, or nuts. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.

Conclusion:

Arugula salad with lemon-garlic dressing is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its zesty lemon-garlic dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
