Ingredients
- 6 ounces fresh arugula
- 1/4 pound chunk of Parmesan, shaved with a vegetable peeler
LEMON VINAIGRETTE:
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

- 1 to 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, enough to emulsify the dressing
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the arugula in a large mixing bowl.
