Arugula and Parmesan Salad Recipe

By
arugula and parmesan salad

One evening, I was in need of a quick side dish recipe that was low in Weight Watchers Points yet still a flavorful (and pretty!) dish.

I hadn’t gone grocery shopping and there wasn’t much in the fridge, so I decided to do a basic Arugula and Parmesan Salad Recipe with an amazing Balsamic Mustard dressing. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious and gourmet the salad tasted, and it took me just 5 minutes to make. But the best part was that each serving had just 1 Point.

Since Parmesan is such a bold flavored cheese, you really don’t need much. And I didn’t use much oil in the dressing either…just a bit for texture. Since the balsamic and Dijon mustard is also strongly flavored, I used a bit of water to give me more dressing without sacrificing flavor.

It was perfect.

And with all the wonderful health benefits of arugula, I’m happy to have another delicious and easy arugula salad recipe in my arsenal.

      I was wondering the same thing. I made it without (and followed the rest of the recipe exactly) and I didn’t miss the oil at all.

    I am totally addicted to arugula. My go to salad is arugula, shaved pecorino romano, dried cranberries and pine nuts or sunflower seeds. I top it with Ken’s Olive Oil and Vinegar dressing. DELICIOUS!
