Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 4
Calories 67kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 cups baby arugula
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup red onion sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Place arugula in a bowl. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Use clean hands to gently massage the arugula. This will only take a minute or two. You'll start to feel the leaves soften.
  • Add the red onion and Parmesan then toss with utensils. Season once more with salt and fresh pepper and serve immediately.

Notes

It is best to make this immediately before serving. Once you massage the greens they will get tender and begin to wilt. 
This serves 4 as a side salad but as a main course will serve 1 - 2.
