If you don’t want to mix that arugula with lettuce but want to enjoy its sharp flavor on its own, how about this arugula salad? Delicious with any grilled meat but an especially good complement to beef. The original idea came years ago from Prevention magazine.
Ingredients:
1 green onion, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar (or red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar although the raspberry is a nice touch) 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley Salt and pepper 1 bunch arugula, rinsed, stems removed, torn into bite-size pieces Grilled protein of some sort, thinly sliced 3 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese (optional)
Preparation:
In large bowl, whisk scallion, oil, vinegar and parsley. Whisk together, taste for seasoning. Add arugula and toss with dressing. Divide between serving plates and top with grilled protein. Add blue cheese if it works with your flavors.
