Equipment

  • bowl
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • 5 ounces baby arugula
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated

For the lemon vinaigrette dressing

  • 2 lemons juiced about ¼ cup juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

To make lemon vinaigrette

  • Whisk together all dressing ingredients except the olive oil.
  • When blended, slowly add in the olive oil - whisking fast so it emulsifies.

For the Salad

  • Add the baby arugula to a bowl, and top with cherry tomatoes.
  • Pour dressing over salad and mix well to combine.
  • Season with salt and pepper and grate parmesan cheese over the top.
  • Devour.

Notes

This is a great salad to make ahead; wait until just before you serve to add the dressing and parmesan. If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use vinegar. Add some toasted pine nuts when you add the cheese. If you really love lemon flavor, add a pinch of lemon zest to the dressing.
