Arugula with Steak, Lemon and Parmesan

Lunch

This is one of our favorite salads. We love the flavor combinations of the spicy arugula, the clean citrus, and the grilled flavor of the meat – not to mention the Parmesan! It’s important to buy hormone and antibiotic-free meat, and since there are so few ingredients, make sure that your olive oil and balsamic are of especially good quality so the flavors will be well-developed. This is probably best served at home for lunch, but it can also be sent in a lunchbox as long as the greens aren’t dressed ahead of time – send the dressing on the side.
