Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If the sun-dried tomatoes are packed in oil, drain them well using a paper towel. If they are dry-packed, rehydrate them according to package instructions (usually by soaking in warm water for about 10 minutes).
- If the olives are whole, pit them and cut them in half.
- Place the arugula in a large salad bowl.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and olives to the bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and olive oil until well combined.
- Drizzle the dressing over the arugula, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives.
- Toss the salad gently to ensure an even distribution of the dressing.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top of the salad.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, choose high-quality sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in olive oil.
- Feel free to experiment with different varieties of vinegar, such as balsamic or red wine vinegar, to adjust the taste to your preference.
- To enhance the flavors, try toasting the grated parmesan cheese slightly before adding it to the salad.
- If you prefer a protein boost, add grilled chicken or chickpeas to the salad.
- Chill your salad ingredients in the fridge before assembling the salad to keep it crisp and refreshing.
