Perfect as a side dish or a light meal, it combines the peppery flavor of arugula with the sweetness of ripe tomatoes and the savory taste of parmesan cheese, all brought together with a simple vinaigrette.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Tomatoes: Rinse the tomatoes thoroughly under cold water. Cut each tomato into bite-sized wedges.
- Arugula: If needed, rinse the arugula under cold running water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- In a large salad bowl, place the 3 cups of arugula.
- Add the tomato wedges over the arugula.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp of vinegar and 2 tbsp of olive oil. Whisk them together until emulsified.
- Pour the dressing over the arugula and tomato mixture.
- Gently toss the salad to ensure the arugula and tomatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese over the top of the salad.
- Optionally, season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately to ensure the arugula remains crisp.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and texture. Heirloom or cherry tomatoes can add an extra burst of sweetness.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for a stronger and more authentic flavor compared to pre-grated varieties.
- Experiment with different types of vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider vinegar, to find your preferred taste profile.
- Toast some nuts, like pine nuts or walnuts, and sprinkle them over the salad for added crunch and nutrition.
- Wash and dry the arugula thoroughly to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
By following this simple recipe, you can create a delicious arugula salad with tomatoes and parmesan cheese that will surely impress your family and friends. The combination of fresh ingredients and a homemade vinaigrette makes this dish a nutritious and flavorful addition to any meal. Enjoy!
