Begin by laying out the slices of Bresaola on a large serving platter. Slightly overlap each slice to create a visually appealing base layer.
Wash and thoroughly dry the arugula. Arrange it over the Bresaola, spreading it evenly to create a light and fresh layer.
Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan cheese into thin curls. Scatter the cheese shavings over the arugula and Bresaola.
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the fresh juice into a small bowl, discarding any seeds. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the fresh lemon juice evenly over the dish.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the Bresaola, arugula, and Parmesan to lightly coat the ingredients.
Add capers by sprinkling them across the dish for a burst of tangy flavor.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or a light salad, paired with crusty bread or a glass of chilled white wine.
