Arugula + Shaved Parmesan Insalata

ARUGULA AND SHAVED PARMESAN INSALATA

2 large handfuls of baby arugula leaves
1 wedge of Parmesan {for shaving}
1 shallot, peeled and chopped finely
1 Tablespoon cabernet or red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive Oil
1 sheet Pane Rustico flatbread*

Wash and dry the arugula leaves.
With a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan cheese into thin shards until you have around a quarter cup or so.
In a small bowl, add the shallot, vinegar, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until blended well.
Gently toss the arugula just until the leaves are lightly coated. {you may not need all of the vinaigrette-best to add less to start}. Place on a sheet of cooked pane rustico. Top with shaved Parmesan cheese.
Makes a antipasti selection, salad course or a main course when topped with grilled salmon or pulled roasted chicken.
