Arugula Salad with Lemon-Parmesan Dressing I've recently become obsessed with arugula salad. Especially, served this way with lemon & Parmesan. The spicy greens, paired with the salty cheese & tart lemon are amazing together. The salad is great alone, but is even better as a pizza topping, or served with Italian chicken cutlets. Begin by putting a 1/3 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese in the bowl of a food processor. Grate 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and add that in. Along with 5 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt & pepper & process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, or storage container & chill until ready to use. The leftover dressing will last in the fridge for 3 days. In a large salad bowl, add 4 packed cups of baby arugula, and 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes {or chopped whole tomatoes}. Toss with the dressing & serve.


From Bon Appétit, April 2009

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups (packed) baby arugula
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a food processor & blend until smooth. Toss the dressing with the arugula & tomatoes & serve. tags dips/dressings, salad, veggies 
So Beautiful !

A quick variation on this fantastic recipe: fill large bowl with arugula, drizzle a couple of tablespoons of GOOD virgin olive oil, squeeze on the juice of a fresh lemon, add a few tablespoons of grated or shredded parmesean, fair amount of freshly ground black pepper. Toss. It's been a requested hit. Everyone loves the quick and easy part that comes with fantastic flavor. :)

That's exactly what inspired me to try this dressing. The way you described is usually the way I make arugula salad.

I'm definitely going to try this, have been watching the cooking shows on tv and keep seeing them use arugula salad. So, I decided to come out here and see what I could find, this recipe popped up at the top of the list and I'm going to try this as my 1st arugula salad! Thanks much! Anonymous

I have had this salad many times and I truly enjoyed the quick and easy version of adding lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper. During the summers I add watermelon and feta to this salad..and sometimes adding some toasted pine nuts to substitute the feta...

me too! I'm obsessed with arugula lately! I love it's nutty taste. I toss it with a lemon vinaigrette and "shaved" Parmesan. Instead of tomatoes I use marinated artichokes. I had it in an Italian restaurant once-delish! It's even better if you grow your own. I have several friends that grow it in their backyards-it's like a weed that reseeds itself! enjoy!

I'm addicted to this. I didn't change a thing and I absolutely love the flavor combination. Perfection!
