Rocket and Parmesan Salad is a vibrant and simple dish, perfect for a light lunch or as a refreshing side to your main course.

With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both nutritious and delicious.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by washing the arugula thoroughly under cold running water. Gently shake off the excess water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner if you have one.
- Grate the parmesan cheese if it’s not pre-grated.
- In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of olive oil with the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Whisk the mixture well until it’s thoroughly combined. The dressing should be smooth and evenly mixed.
- Place the arugula in a large salad bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice dressing over the arugula. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure that the arugula is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the dressed arugula. Give the salad one last gentle toss to distribute the cheese evenly throughout the salad.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish or plates.
- Optionally, season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients.: Make sure your arugula is crisp and fresh, and opt for freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
- Adjust the dressing to taste.: Feel free to add more or less olive oil and lemon juice according to your taste preferences.
- Add extras for variety.: Consider adding toasted nuts, such as pine nuts or walnuts, or fresh fruit like cherry tomatoes or slices of pear for added texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately.: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. Dress the salad just before serving to keep the arugula crisp.
- Mix gently.: Toss the salad gently to ensure all the leaves are coated with the dressing without bruising the arugula.
