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

ARUGULA SALAD WITH LEMON & TRUFFLE OIL DRESSING



Arugula Salad With Lemon & Truffle Oil Dressing image

Found this on the web. I like this recipe because it uses only truffle oil instead of a mixture of olive and truffle oils.

Provided by Grace Lynn

Categories     Pears

Time 10m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups baby arugula
1/4 cup shaved parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon, squeezed)
1 1/2 teaspoons truffle oil
1 pinch sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
sliced pear (optional)
1/4 cup toasted walnuts (optional)
soft-poached egg (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the baby arugula into a large bowl.
  • Squeeze half a lemon over the arugula and add the zest.
  • Toss the shaved cheese on top of the arugula. If you're adding pears, put that in the bowl now.
  • If you're adding toasted walnuts, toss those on top as well.
  • Drizzle everything in the bowl with truffle oil.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt across the top and crack some black pepper across the whole bowl to taste.
  • Mix all those lovely things together.
  • Pile your delicious salad on plates. If you've poached eggs, place these on top of each serving of the salad (this tastes delicious when you break the yolk and eat it mixed in with your salad. Sounds weird, but it's good!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, young arugula leaves.
  • If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice. However, fresh lemon juice will give the dressing a brighter, more flavorful taste.
  • To make a vegan version of this salad, use olive oil instead of butter in the dressing.
  • This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled or roasted chicken or tofu.
  • You can also add other vegetables to this salad, such as bell peppers, tomatoes, or cucumbers.
  • Serve this salad immediately after making it, as the arugula will wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This arugula salad with lemon pepper dressing is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its bright, tangy dressing and crisp, peppery arugula, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
