Description
A simple, vibrant salad featuring peppery arugula and aged Parmesan, tossed with olive oil for a fresh, healthy, and satisfying Italian dish ready in 10 minutes.
Ingredients
4 cups Arugula, fresh, loosely packed
1/2 cup Shaved Parmesan (aged is best; substitute with Pecorino if needed)
2 tablespoons Olive Oil, extra virgin
1 teaspoon Flaky Sea Salt
Black Pepper, freshly ground, to taste
Instructions
Rinse arugula under cold water until clean
Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel
Transfer to a large mixing bowl
Add shredded Parmesan to the bowl
Pour in the olive oil and flaky sea salt
Use clean hands to gently toss ingredients until evenly coated
Divide into four bowls
Add freshly ground black pepper to taste
Serve at room temperature or chilled
Notes
Use high-quality aged Parmesan for intense, nutty flavor
Shave the cheese yourself for visual appeal and texture
Choose fresh, tender arugula leaves and avoid wilted or tough ones
Drizzle olive oil gradually, adjusting to taste during mixing
Avoid using low-quality cheese or adding excessive oil, which can overpower the dish
