Salad Base

Candied Pine Nuts

Vinaigrette

Cheese

Method

Prepare the Candied Pine Nuts

  1. 1

    Toast the Pine Nuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the pine nuts. Toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown.

  2. 2

    Make the Candy Coating

    Add sugar, salt, and water to the skillet with the pine nuts. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble.

  3. 3

    Coat the Nuts

    Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and coats the pine nuts, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and spread the nuts on parchment paper to cool.

Prepare the Vinaigrette

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl or jar, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt. Whisk or shake well to combine until emulsified.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, add the arugula. Drizzle with the lemon pepper vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.

  2. 6

    Add Cheese and Nuts

    Sprinkle the pecorino cheese and candied pine nuts over the salad. Toss lightly to combine and serve immediately.
