Arugula Salad With Aged Gouda Savory Praline And Whole Grain Mustard Dressing Food

ARUGULA-MUSTARD SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk 2 teaspoons each whole-grain mustard and white wine vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Slowly drizzle in 3 tablespoons olive oil, whisking. Add 3 bunches torn arugula and1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts and toss.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Place the arugula in a very large bowl, ideally one that could hold twice as many leaves. Drizzle over the olive oil and use your hands to toss lightly, then add the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Lightly toss the greens until they are evenly glossy; avoid overmixing or crushing the greens.
• Add the Parmesan and toss just to incorporate. Taste. If the salad is too sharp, add another drop of oil and toss. If the salad is dull, add a sprinkle of salt and some lemon juice and toss. Eat right away.

ARUGULA AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH BAGNA CAUDA DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add anchovies and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until anchovies melt into the oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in salt, vinegar and pepper. Let cool to room temperature.
• In a serving bowl, toss arugula with just enough dressing to coat. Season well with black pepper. In a smaller bowl, very gently toss avocado with more of the dressing (you may not need it all). Add avocado to arugula and very gently combine. Serve immediately.
