How to Make a Fancy Arugula Salad

Over the summer, an avocado toast was making the headlines as an overpriced menu item at the Four Seasons Hotel in London. But, it wasn’t your average avocado toast! No, it started with a croissant topped with avocado, a poached egg, and a fancy arugula salad. I’m not sure about this one Four Seasons, but I do like a fancy avocado salad!

While I recently returned from a quick trip to old London town, I did not have a chance to try this incredibly overpriced avocado “croast” as they are calling it. However, I am taking my inspiration on this simple yet fancy arugula salad directly for the Four Seasons breakfast menu.

I’ll leave the croissant out of it, but this simple salad is so easy to make and very satisfying. I made it along side my salmone alla mostarda and it paired very well. But, you could have this salad literally with anything. Heck, even top it with some grilled chicken and call it a meal!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

8 ounces of arugula

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1/4 cup of olive oil

1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Add the arugula to a large mixing bowl. Top it with the lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Using your hands massage the arugula until all of the leaves are coated in the olive oil and lemon juice. Top with loads of parmesan cheese and enjoy. It is that simple and I won’t even charge you $15 for it!
