Summer Salad in Winter: Heirloom Tomato & Arugula Salad Recipe

The one thing about living in Los Angeles is that we even have summer weather in the winter. We haven't seen a hint of the "polar vortex", unfortunately we're having quite the opposite situation as we are experiencing a drought here in California and should all be doing our part to conserve water.

Even though we are having a drought, there is still beautiful California produce available. Here's a quick, delicious and healthy salad I threw together from some fresh veggies from the market.

Heirloom Tomato & Arugula Salad

Heirloom Tomato & Arugula Salad

Ingredients:
1 Large Heirloom Tomato (or 2 Small Heirloom Tomatoes)
1 Handful of Arugula
Juice of Half a Lemon
1-2tbsp of Good Olive Oil
Pecorino or Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Method:
Put a handful of arugula on a plate. Top with sliced tomatoes. Add a squeeze of lemon and drizzle of olive oil. Top with Pecorino cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. This is more of a method and nothing is really done by measurement, but more to your personal taste.
