Arugula Pineapple Salad Recipe

6

Ingredients

3 * 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 * 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
* salt and pepper
* water
4 * 4 cups washed arugula
* peeled fresh pineapple
1/3 * 1/3 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
3 * 3 ounces Piavé cheese (an Italian cheese with the texture of Parmesan, but a lighter, fruity taste)

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1. For dressing, whisk balsamic vinegar with mustard. Slowly pour in olive oil while whisking. Season to taste. If dressing seems thick, whisk in a tablespoon or 2 of water (this allows the dressing to coat the arugula without weighing them down).
2. To assemble the salad, arrange arugula on a platter. Remove core from pineapple and slice as thinly as possible (on a mandolin is best). Arrange pineapple over arugula. Slice red onion and arrange on salad. Sprinkle pine nuts over. With a vegetable peeler or cheese knife, pull curls or thin shards of Piavé over. Drizzle dressing over, season lightly and serve.
