Bon Appetit's Arugula Salad With Lemon-Parmesan Dressing image

Found on the epicurious.com website via Bon Appetit April 2009. "(This)makes a great side dish, but this salad is even better as a pizza topping. Brush the with olive oil, sprinkle it with sea salt and shredded mozzarella, then bake. When the pizza comes out of the oven, top it with the salad." Note: the lemon flavor in the dressing is very pronounced. *Update 1 January 2012*: I prepared this last week again but had no standard lemons on hand and substituted Meyer lemon juice and zest. Wow! fyi, cg

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (asiago, reggiano, etc. can replace Parmesan if you wish)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (*fresh*!)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
4 cups packed baby arugula (rocket)
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes (I omitted the tomatoes because my main dish contained them) or 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, minced (I omitted the tomatoes because my main dish contained them)
