Ingredients

• 4 cups Arugula
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil, extra virgin
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vinaigrette. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, honey, minced garlic, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined and emulsified.

Step 2

In a large salad bowl, place the fresh arugula. Be sure to wash and dry the arugula thoroughly before use.

Step 3

Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the arugula. Toss gently to coat the leaves evenly, ensuring the arugula is well dressed but not soaked.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shaved Parmesan cheese over the dressed arugula. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmesan for even and thin slices that provide a delightful texture.

Step 5

Toss the salad lightly once more to distribute the Parmesan cheese evenly throughout.

Step 6

Serve the salad immediately as a fresh starter or a light side dish. Enjoy the vibrant flavors and textures without the need for added salt!
