Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound fresh arugula (3 large bunches)
  • Lemon Vinaigrette:
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup good olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4-pound chunk very good Parmesan

Method

  • If the arugula has roots attached, cut them off. Fill the sink with cold water and toss the arugula for a few minutes to clean. Spin-dry the leaves and place them in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour enough dressing on the arugula to moisten. Toss well and place the salad on individual plates.
  • With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan into large shards and arrange them on the arugula.
