the damages
- Small mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Spoon
- That's all
the ingredients
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 T ricotta
- Dash of ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper
- 2 cups baby arugula
the preparation
In a mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine all ingredients (except lettuce). Dip a leaf of arugula in the dressing to check the seasoning. Adjust nutmeg, salt, and olive oil accordingly. Like it? Drizzle over a serving of arugula. Love it? I'm glad. SERVES MANY.
a few notes
- Buy nesting stainless steel mixing bowls for about $2 a piece at nearly any thrift store with a housewares section. That's a bundle cheaper than the $8-$15 price tags that I found at online stores.
- Arugula has a strong flavor - hence it's nickname (Rocket) - so taste the dressing on a piece of the lettuce to ensure the combination of flavors works.
I don't really like arugula, but your dressing sounds great. I am not good at mixing spices, so thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeletebaby arugula! now you have to feature something with adult arugula :)
ReplyDeleteI like to use just lemon juice and some honey whisked together. It's light, summery and cheap!
