Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Arugula

    Wash the arugula thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Shred the Cheese

    Using a vegetable peeler or a box grater, shred the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into thin shavings. Set aside.

Vinaigrette Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Vinaigrette Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended and emulsified.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, add the cleaned arugula. Drizzle the prepared lemon vinaigrette over the arugula and toss gently to coat all the leaves evenly.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the top of the salad. Give it a final light toss to incorporate the cheese.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Immediately

    Transfer the arugula salad to serving plates or leave it in the bowl for communal serving. Enjoy fresh!
