  • 2. In shallow pan, stir together flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat both sides of chicken with flour mixture. Beat eggs in shallow bowl with whisk to blend.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The better the tomatoes, the better the salad will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Use fresh arugula. Arugula has a peppery flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the tomatoes. If you can't find arugula, you can substitute another type of leafy green, such as spinach or kale.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil has a fruity flavor that will enhance the taste of the salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of olive oil and vinegar goes a long way. You don't want to drown the salad in dressing.
  • Add some extras. If you like, you can add other ingredients to the salad, such as crumbled feta cheese, toasted pine nuts, or chopped red onion.

Conclusion:

Tomato and arugula salad is a simple but delicious salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is light and refreshing, and it is packed with flavor. The combination of sweet tomatoes, peppery arugula, and tangy vinaigrette is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this one a try.
