What You Need to Cook Arugula Salad with Cherry Tomatoes and Parmesan

How to Make Arugula Salad with Cherry Tomatoes and Parmesan: Step-by-Step Instructions🔪

Cut off the arugula stalks – 1 bundle  – (if you have an early one with small leaves and thin stalks, you don’t need to cut them off). Soak it in the water for 5-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, wash 300 g (7 oz) of  cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.

Remove the water and finely dry the arugula. I use a salad dryer. If you cook them often – it’s an irreplaceable thing. If you don’t have one – use the paper towels.

Make a salad.

Place the arugula leaves on the plate.

Scatter sliced tomatoes on top.

Salt, pepper and add zest from half a lemon and add to the salad.

Using a vegetable peeler, make a few slices of parmesan 30 g(1 oz) and add on top.

Add a juice from ¼ of a lemon, and richly sprinkle with virgin olive oil.
