ARUGULA SALAD WITH LEMON DRESSING

ARUGULA, LEMON QUINOA SALAD

Steps:

• Quinoa -- Cook according to directions. For most brands it is 1 part to approximately 2 parts liquid. Rinse the quinoa very well before you cook it - Important Step! Then bring the liquid to a boil (I prefer to use a broth to add even more flavor), reduce, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Just check your package for complete directions. Once done, just set to the side to cool.
• Salad Ingredients -- In your serving bowl, add the arugula, onion, scallions, garlic, peas, parsley and lemon zest. Toss well.
• Vinaigrette -- I like to make my vinaigrettes in a small tupperware container so I can just shake it and it is ready to go. Besides, if you don't use all your dressing, just put the lid back on and it will keep in the refrigerator for future use. But you can also mix this up in any small bowl or measuring cup. Just mix up the olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, mustard, sugar and pepper.
• Finish -- Simply add the cooled or room temp quinoa to the salad vegetables and toss. Add a little vinaigrette at a time and mix. Add as much vinaigrette as you want. Check for seasoning and add any additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Serve -- ENJOY this lighter salad.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH LEMON & TRUFFLE OIL DRESSING

Steps:

• Put the baby arugula into a large bowl.
• Squeeze half a lemon over the arugula and add the zest.
• Toss the shaved cheese on top of the arugula. If you're adding pears, put that in the bowl now.
• If you're adding toasted walnuts, toss those on top as well.
• Drizzle everything in the bowl with truffle oil.
• Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt across the top and crack some black pepper across the whole bowl to taste.
• Mix all those lovely things together.
• Pile your delicious salad on plates. If you've poached eggs, place these on top of each serving of the salad (this tastes delicious when you break the yolk and eat it mixed in with your salad. Sounds weird, but it's good!
