Ingredients

6 servings
  • 5 ounces arugula  (about 5 cups)
  • 1/3 cup large Parmesan cheese shavings
  • 3 tablespoons chopped sunflower seeds or chopped nuts of choice—toasted and chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon chopped mild fresh herbs of choice (such as chives, parsley, or tarragon (optional))
  • 4 medium carrots
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 medium lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps

  1. Place the arugula and any optional veggies in a large bowl.

  2. In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients: lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt. (Alternatively, you can shake them all together in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid).

  3. Drizzle enough over the arugula to moisten it, then toss to combine.

  4. Sprinkle Parmesan and any desired nuts or herbs over the top. Serve immediately with a drizzle of extra dressing as desired.
