ARUGULA SALAD

Serves 2

Ingredients:

2 cups arugula or rocket in certain parts of the country

 1 tbsp olive oil

½ Meyer lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

If you have a grill fired up you can brush the cut side of the lemon with olive oil and place on a warm spot on the grill to get a grill mark and some grill flavor.

Place aruglua in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and squeeze the lemon over top season with salt and pepper.

*You can dress this with whatever you like. Being in Little Rock right now all of my friends seem to have an abundance of arugula. Personally, I don’t want to ruin a nice fresh picked lettuce with anything more than citrus and oil.
