Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing the tomato thoroughly under running water.
- Cut the tomato half into small, bite-sized pieces. You can opt for slices, cubes, or wedges based on your preference.
- Rinse the arugula leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Pat the leaves dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring the arugula is dry helps the dressing adhere better to the leaves.
- In a large bowl, combine the arugula leaves and the chopped tomato.
- In a small bowl or directly over the salad, drizzle 1 teaspoon of vinegar over the arugula and tomato.
- Add 1/3 tablespoon of olive oil. This will help balance the acidity of the vinegar and add a rich, smooth flavor to the salad.
- Gently toss the arugula and tomato with the dressing until everything is well coated. Be careful not to bruise the arugula leaves while mixing.
- Although the recipe's simplicity is its charm, you may wish to add a pinch of salt, black pepper, or a few shavings of Parmesan cheese to enhance the flavors further.
- Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste. It makes a perfect light appetizer or a side dish to complement your main course.
Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt and pepper to the salad.
- You can also enhance the salad by adding other ingredients like sliced cucumbers, red onions, or crumbled feta cheese.
- To keep the arugula fresh and crisp, wash and dry it thoroughly before mixing with the other ingredients.
- For a more intense flavor, use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
By following this straightforward recipe, you can enjoy a delicious and healthy arugula salad in just a few minutes. The combination of fresh arugula, juicy tomatoes, tangy vinegar, and rich olive oil creates a delightful burst of flavor that's sure to satisfy your taste buds.
