Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound fresh arugula (3 large bunches)

Lemon Vinaigrette:

  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)

Instructions

  1. Trim roots from the arugula if present. Fill the sink with cold water and gently swirl the arugula for a few minutes to clean it thoroughly. Dry the leaves using a salad spinner and transfer to a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until emulsified. Drizzle just enough dressing over the arugula to lightly coat the leaves. Toss gently and divide among individual serving plates.
  3. Using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan into large, thin ribbons and scatter over the salad for a delightful finish.
