Cook: Arugula and Artichoke Salad with Shaved Parmesan and Lemon-Olive Oil Dressing


This is one of our go to salads. It is light, refreshing, and healthy! It is perfect as a side to grilled meats, or baked pasta.

Arugula and Artichoke Salad with Shaved Parmesan and Lemon-Olive Oil Dressing

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag of prewashed arugula
  • 1 can of artichoke hearts in water (we like the ones from trader joes)
  • 1-2 lemons
  • olive oil
  • Parmesan cheese (block) 
Directions:
  1. Place arugula greens in a large salad bowl
  2. drain artichoke hearts, quarter them. Add to bowl
  3. using a cheese shaver (or vegetable peeler), shave a liberal amount of parmesan cheese into salad bowl.
  4. Squeeze 1-2 lemons (depending on your preference)
  5. Drizzle with olive oil
  6. Toss!!!
  7.  Salt and pepper to taste (I usually skip this since the arugula/lemon combo is very flavorful) Enjoy!
