Arugula Salad with Pine Nuts and Parmesan
My husband's Uncle Bill was here recently and let me in on his favorite arugula salad recipe. Uncle Bill is a wine connoisseur, a restaurateur, and he really knows his food. So when he offered to make a salad with one of my favorite greens, I jumped at the chance.
It's a very simple salad and perfect in that simplicity. This salad really doesn't require measuring, but I included some measurements below. If you love pine nuts, add more pine nuts. If you love Parmesan, then load it on.
Arugula Salad with Pine Nuts and Parmesan
Original recipe, also posted at http://blog.cookingwithtraderjoes.com
Ingredients
- 1 7-oz bag Arugula (about 5 cups)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (I use unfiltered olive oil in salads)
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
3/4 cup shaved Parmesan
Salt
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Directions
1) Toss the arugula with the olive oil till coated.
2) Add the pine nuts and Parmesan.
3) Add a little salt to taste and the lemon juice. Toss lightly and serve.
If you want to make this salad into a light meal, boil some pasta (say half a bag of penne) and toss it all together, allowing the arugula to wilt slightly.
