Open in Pepper →Arugula Turns A Salad Into Supper
Arugula has a bite to it, and that bite is what keeps a salad from feeling like a side dish. Give it lemon, something salty, and a warm piece of meat or fish, and you have a real dinner in about fifteen minutes.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on hot nights when nobody wants the oven on, or when there's leftover chicken or steak in the fridge and half a bag of greens to use up.
Every recipe here leans on that peppery green: Lemony Arugula Salad with grilled chicken and crushed almonds, arugula salad topped with steak and orange, arugula with melon, prosciutto and burrata, Arugula Salad with Salmon and dried cranberries, and grilled peaches with burrata.
Quick Tips
- 1
Dress it right before serving
Arugula wilts fast in acid. Toss with the lemon and oil no more than 2 or 3 minutes before it hits the table.
- 2
Rest the steak first
Let grilled steak sit 5 to 10 minutes, then slice thin against the grain so the juices season the greens instead of running off the board.
- 3
Toast the nuts
Almonds or pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, shaking often, makes a big difference in flavor.
- 4
Wash and dry well
Rinse arugula in cold water and spin or towel it completely dry — wet leaves keep dressing from sticking and turn the bowl watery.
