Ingredients

• 100 grams rukola (arugula)
• 150 grams cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium avocado
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese
• 1 medium lemon
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the rukola thoroughly using a salad spinner or paper towels. Place it in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Rinse the cherry tomatoes, pat them dry, then slice them in half. Add them to the bowl with the rukola.

Step 3

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Chop the avocado into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad bowl.

Step 4

Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin slices of Parmesan cheese directly over the salad. You should have about 30 grams of cheese shavings in total.

Step 5

To make the dressing, cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a small mixing bowl, removing any seeds.

Step 6

Slowly whisk in the extra virgin olive oil until the mixture is well combined.

Step 7

Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.

Step 9

Gently toss the salad using salad tongs or two large forks to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh rukola salad.
