Arugula isn’t to everyone’s taste, as it has a slightly spicy, peppery flavor. For those who can’t get enough of it, this salad with toasted pine nuts will hit the spot.

Yield: 4 servings

Time: 10 minutes

Tools

  • kitchen towel
  • bowl
  • wooden spoon
  • four salad plates

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches arugula
  • 5-6 T vinaigrette (or just 2 T balsamic vinegar + 4 T olive oil)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • ¼ c parmesan, thinly sliced or coarsely grated
  • ¼ c toasted* pine nuts

Directions

Wash and thoroughly dry arugula, then place in bowl.

Toss with vinaigrette, salt, and pepper, and transfer to salad plates.
