  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 1 pkg. (5 oz.) arugula
  • 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 oz. Parmesan cheese, shaved

Directions:

  2. In large bowl, toss arugula with oil, lemon segments, juice, ¼ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper. Gently fold in Parmesan. To serve, shave additional Parmesan on top if desired. Serve immediately.
