The Barefoot Contessa's Arugula With Parmesan

Submitted by Irish Rose

"My favorite green in a recipe by my favorite cook, Ina Garten. Ina says the arugula is peppery, the vinaigrette lemony and the parmesan spicy. She also recommends using Parmigiano Reggiano cheese."

• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb fresh arugula

• lemon vinaigrette

• 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1⁄2 cup olive oil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

directions

1. Remove any roots from the arugula. Fill sink with cold water and toss the arugula for a few minutes to clean. Spin dry the leaves and place them in a bowl.
