How to Make Arugula Pineapple Salad

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil until the dressing emulsifies. Add 1-2 teaspoons of water if needed to thin the dressing to your desired consistency.
  3. Peel, core, and thinly slice one medium-sized pineapple using a mandolin or food processor fitted with a slicing blade.
  4. Arrange 5 ounces of arugula on individual plates.
  5. Top the arugula with the sliced pineapple and 1/4 cup of thinly sliced red onion.
  6. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of toasted pine nuts and 1/4 cup of shaved parmesan cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  7. Season lightly with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Drizzle generously with the prepared vinaigrette and serve immediately.
