The Little Green Salad

A fresh arugula side salad with Parmesan and toasted nuts, tossed in a simple lemon vinaigrette. It's wonderful as is but feel free to change it up with my suggested variations or put your own seasonal spin on it.

Ingredients

6 servings
  • Arugula
  • Small nuts or seeds, toasted (pine nuts, sunflower seeds and sliced almonds are great)
  • Freshly grated Parmesan
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (more to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Sliced cherry tomatoes, avocado and sunflower seeds
  • Thinly sliced cucumbers, radishes and almonds
  • Thinly sliced fennel and pine nuts

Steps

  1. Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl (or a jar with a watertight lid), whisk together (or shake) the ingredients until well blended.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the arugula with a handful of toasted nuts and grated Parmesan (don’t skimp). Add a drizzle of dressing and toss until the salad is lightly coated throughout. If desired, toss in the suggested add-ins. Serve immediately.
