Plate of arugula salad with cherry tomatoes, roasted garlic chips and parmesan, with a side of dressing and a fork

Arugula with Parmigiano Reggiano

toasted pecan, balsamic, garlic chips, tomato

STARS

This simple salad has a bit of a bite thanks to the use of peppery arugula and the addition of thinly sliced and toasted garlic chips. Pecans, shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and a balsamic-olive oil vinaigrette complete this salad that works as a great start to a larger meal or as a partner with soup or a vegetable side.
