Description
A fresh and vibrant lemon arugula salad with cherry tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese, dressed with a zesty lemon garlic dressing.
Ingredients
4 cups arugula, washed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, cut into thin slices
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons honey (or natural sweetener)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pine nuts and toast them, stirring frequently, until they are golden in spots, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Set the dressing aside.
In a large bowl, combine the arugula, cherry tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese slices. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle the shaved Parmesan cheese on top, add a bit more black pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
