ARUGULA SALAD WITH WALNUT VINAIGRETTE FOR TWO



Arugula Salad With Walnut Vinaigrette for Two image

This is a lovely light salad that easy to prepare. We prefer to toast nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, which takes four or five minutes. Make sure to shake the pan occasionally to turn the nuts. If you don't have walnut oil, replace the canola and walnut oils with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.

Tips:

  • Select fresh, young arugula: Look for leaves that are vibrant green and tender to ensure the best flavor and texture in your salad.
  • Prepare the arugula properly: Before adding the arugula to the salad, wash it thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Gently pat the leaves dry to prevent water from diluting the dressing.
  • Use a flavorful vinaigrette: The shallot vinaigrette in this recipe adds a delicious balance of sweet and tangy flavors to complement the arugula. Be sure to whisk the dressing well to emulsify it and create a smooth consistency.
  • Toast the crostini to perfection: Toasting the crostini adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the salad. Brush them lightly with olive oil and toast them in the oven until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: Arugula is best enjoyed fresh, so assemble the salad just before serving to maintain the texture and flavor of the ingredients. Toss the arugula, toasted crostini, and shaved parmesan cheese gently to combine.

Conclusion:

This arugula salad with shallot vinaigrette and crostini is a delightful and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a main meal or as a light lunch. The combination of fresh, peppery arugula, tangy vinaigrette, crispy crostini, and nutty parmesan cheese creates a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy salad to serve at a gathering or a refreshing meal to enjoy on a warm day, this arugula salad is sure to impress.
