The Perfect 5-Minute Arugula Salad with Parmesan

This everyday arugula salad is, hands down, the salad I make most often in my own kitchen. It takes less than five minutes, but the combination of the lemon and flaky sea salt makes the arugula absolutely sing. It’s light, refreshing, and the perfect earthy companion to everything from grilled steak to a rich pasta.
