- Measure out the pine nuts, olive oil, vinegar, and grated parmesan cheese.
2. Toast the Pine Nuts:
- Heat a small, dry skillet over medium heat.
- Add the pine nuts and toast them for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
- Once toasted, remove the pine nuts from the skillet and set them aside to cool.
3. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the arugula and tomatoes.
- Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the arugula and tomatoes.
- Add the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the salad.
4. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar until well combined.
- Season the dressing with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary.
5. Dress the Salad:
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
- Gently toss the salad to ensure that the arugula, tomatoes, pine nuts, and parmesan cheese are evenly coated with the dressing.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the salad to individual serving plates or a large serving bowl.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful arugula salad with tomatoes, pine nuts, and parmesan cheese!

Tips:

- Toast the pine nuts before adding them to the salad to enhance their flavor and add extra crunch.

- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and a good vinegar like balsamic or red wine vinegar to elevate the taste.

- Season the salad just before serving to prevent the arugula from wilting.

- For an added burst of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the dressing.
