Salad Base

Candied Pine Nuts

Lemon Pepper Vinaigrette

Toppings

Method

Preparation of Candied Pine Nuts

  1. 1

    Toast the Pine Nuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, add pine nuts and toast them, stirring frequently, until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).

  2. 2

    Candy the Pine Nuts

    Once toasted, lower the heat and add granulated sugar and butter. Stir continuously until the sugar melts and coats the pine nuts. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Once coated, transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.

Preparation of Lemon Pepper Vinaigrette

  1. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 4

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, add arugula and pour in the lemon pepper vinaigrette. Toss gently to coat the arugula evenly.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the candied pine nuts and pecorino cheese over the top of the arugula salad.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the arugula is fresh and the toppings are crispy.
