Ingredients

  1. 4 cups fresh arugula (lightly packed)
  2. 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  3. 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese or crumbled goat cheese (you can also use feta, blue cheese, or mozzarella)
  4. 1/4 cup toasted walnuts or pecans (optional)
  5. 1/2 avocado, sliced (optional)
  6. 1 tablespoon lemon juice (about half a lemon)
  7. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  8. Salt and pepper, to taste
  9. Balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar (optional, for drizzling)

Kitchen Tools Needed:

  1. Salad bowl
  2. Whisk
  3. Knife
  4. Cutting board

Steps

  1. Prep the Salad Base: In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh arugula, halved cherry tomatoes, and shaved Parmesan cheese or crumbled goat cheese. If using, gently add the sliced avocado and toasted nuts.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the lemon-olive oil dressing over the arugula salad. Toss everything gently to coat the arugula evenly with the dressing.
  4. Serve: Transfer the salad to serving plates, and if desired, drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze or vinegar over the top for added flavor. Enjoy immediately!
