This salad has just enough sweetness to break the bitterness of the arugula. Perfect for spring!
Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 ½ cups packed arugula
- 2 figs, sliced lengthwise
- ½ cup hearts-of-palm, sliced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup shaved parmesan
Directions:
Place balsamic vinegar in a small sauce pan and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it is reduced to about ¼ cup, 20 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in honey. Set aside and let it cool.
Arrange the arugula in individual plates, top with the figs and hearts-of-palm. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and the balsamic vinegar reduction. Top with shaved parmesan and serve it immediately.
