The other day I roasted a red pepper before it descended to a state only fit for the compost bin. I put it in a jar, covered it with olive oil, and put it in the fridge. I knew one of my favorite salads was in my near future.
Today I picked up some baby arugula at Aldi's, and tonight it was time for salad. Unfortunately I forgot pine nuts! Next time toasted pine nuts for sure.
But for tonight all I needed was:
Arugula
Roasted red peppers in olive oil
Parmesan cheese
Lemon
Black pepper
Add the red pepper to the arugula. Squeeze a little lemon juice over it. It basically makes its own dressing. Shave Parmesan cheese over the salad. Goat cheese is good too. Add a few grinds of black pepper, toss, and you have a delicious salad that is both sweet with the red pepper and has the bite of the arugula and black pepper.
