Arugula Salad with Lemon Dressing

This quick, easy, and simple arugula salad is tossed with a delicious lemon dressing. It takes less than 10 minutes to make this arugula salad. It also pairs well with almost anything!

📝 Ingredients

• 4 to 5 cups baby arugula
• Zest of 1 medium lemon
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (plus more to taste)
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus more to taste)
• Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, plus shaved parmesan for garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Make the lemon dressing: In a mason jar, combine the lemon juice and olive oil. Shake vigorously and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the flavors to taste: for more acidity, add some more lemon juice. If too acidic, add more olive oil. Note: I like my dressings less acidic, so I always use less lemon juice, so feel free to adjust to taste.
2. 2In a bowl, toss the arugula with the prepared lemon dressing and the 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese.
3. 3Garnish with lemon zest and more parmesan cheese (I garnished it with shaved parmesan). Tip: to shave parmesan cheese, use a vegetable peeler.
4. 4Serve immediately. Enjoy!
