How to Make a Simple and Healthy Arugula Salad

The following is an easy recipe for a healthy and tasty arugula salad. Arugula is high in fiber and very flavorful-so the beauty is-you don't need to add much to it.

Things You'll Need

• 2 8 oz. packages of wild arugula
• 2 tbsp. pine nuts, toasted
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• Juice of one lemon
• White truffle oil, to taste
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 lb. block Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Instructions

1. Lightly toast the pine nuts in a small, heavy saute pan over a medium-low fire.

2. Wash the arugula and dry with paper towels.

3. Just before serving, dress the salad with the olive oil and lemon juice, season with the salt and pepper and drizzle with the truffle oil.

4. Scatter the pine nuts and shave Parmigiano-Reggiano on top with a vegetable peeler. Serve immediately.
