Ingredients:

120g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- 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.
2. Assemble the Salad:
- Place the arugula in a large salad bowl.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and olives to the bowl.
3. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and olive oil until well combined.
4. Dress the Salad:
- Drizzle the dressing over the arugula, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives.
- Toss the salad gently to ensure an even distribution of the dressing.
5. Add the Parmesan:
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top of the salad.
6. Serve:
- 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.
