Arugula and Orange Salad


Its no surprise that I love Arugula. I enjoy it so much more than those played out Mesclun greens. Arugula and oranges make a great culinary combo. We serve this salad often as a first course at our "Tuscan" vineyard style weddings. The guests always love it. Let me inspire you to make this delicious salad recipe at home.

Arugula
1 orange peeled and separated
1 red onion, shaved
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup Ricotta Salata cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Chopped garlic( 1 clove)
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Directions
Combine arugula, orange, red onions, pine nuts, and cheese . In a bowl, mix together lemon juice, a pinch of sugar, vinegar, chopped garlic and olive oil and salt and pepper.
