Arugula Salad Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cup mixed lettuce leaves
1 cup arugula, stems removed
1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced
1 sweet red pepper
Recipe Preparation
In a wooden salad bowl, rub garlic and salt into the bowl to season
it. Combine vinegar, mustard and olive oil; stir. Tear lettuce into
bite sized pieces, along with arugula. Add mushrooms and slices of
red pepper. Toss well and serve.
Ogden writes: "Italian restaurants often serve arugula on its own
with a strong garlic flavored oil and vinegar dressing. Mixed with
milder greens and a good dressing, arugula is less dominating."
