Rustic Arugula Salad

Servings: 2 -3

Ingredients

  • 4 cups or more fresh arugula
  • 1 lemon
  • 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup cherry or strawberry tomatoes halved
  • 2 or 3 hard-boiled eggs peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup day-old crusty bread cubed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or chopped finely
  • pinch or two kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • small chunk Pamigiano or Pecorino cheese shaved or shredded
  • 1 teaspoon or more red wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Clean and prepare all veggies and ingredients. In small pan, saute garlic in a little olive oil for about 40 seconds on medium heat. Remove the garlic and add the bread cubes to the pan. Stir until little browned and add a little salt and pepper while you are turning them.
  • Note: To cook the eggs, bring water to boil, turn off heat and cover. Let sit for about 15 minutes and your eggs will be perfectly boiled! I love this little trick because you will never over cook another hard-boiled egg again.
  • Toss all ingredients, except the quartered eggs, in mixing bowl with a little olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add the garlic you removed from the pan and toss a bit more.
  • Arrange in shallow dish, distributing eggs evenly and topping with the shaved cheese.
  • Enjoy!
