Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Arugula (Rocket)
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the arugula leaves thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl with the arugula.
Using a vegetable peeler, shave long, thin slices of Parmesan cheese, and add them to the bowl. Alternatively, you can grate the Parmesan if preferred.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Use salad tongs or clean hands to gently toss the salad, ensuring that everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
Optionally, drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze on top for added flavor and presentation.
Serve the salad immediately as a light appetizer or side dish.
