This is the side salad to make when you don’t want to think. Easy Rocket (Arugula) and Parmesan Salad is fresh, quick and goes with absolutely everything – no chopping, no fuss, just a handful of ingredients and a dressing that takes a minute to shake together.
Ingredients

- ½ tsp sea salt flakes
- ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions

- Make the dressing – For the dressing, in a small jar or bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Shake or whisk until well combined.

Notes
Make Ahead
Salad – The rocket (arugula) and parmesan can be portioned ahead and stored for up to 3 days in the fridge, but don’t dress the salad until just before serving for best results. Find my fruit and vegetable storage tips here. Dressing – The dressing can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Bring to room temperature before serving (it will solidify in the fridge). Shake before using as it may separate slightly.Leftovers
Once dressed, the salad is best served and eaten immediately. If making ahead, follow the Make Ahead instructions above, but don’t throw out leftovers! Store the dressed salad for up to 24 hours in an airtight container in the fridge. However, note the leaves will soften.Nutrition Facts
