Arugula Salad with White Balsam Vinegar Dessing

Very fresh - great with a protein source, such as fish, steak or a quiche 

INGREDIENTS

  • Handful of fresh Arugula (Rocket / Rucola)
  • Tomato - sliced into wedges
  • Finely sliced Spanish onion
  • Shaved,fresh Parmesan
  • White balsam vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
INSTRUCTIONS

Toss all ingredients, bar the Parmesan in a bowl - top with Parmesan and serve. You may note that I have not specified quantities - do your own to taste!!!

I love this because I like the sweetness of the balsam vinegar with the peppery Arugula and the sweet bite from the Spanish onion - yum!
