Ingredients: Gather fresh arugula, lemon, extra virgin olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
Preparation: Wash and dry the arugula leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together freshly squeezed lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss: Place the arugula in a salad bowl, then pour the dressing over the leaves.
Shave Parmesan: Use a vegetable peeler to shave thin slices of Parmesan cheese over the dressed arugula.
Serve: Toss the salad gently to coat the leaves evenly with the dressing and Parmesan cheese.
