Arugula salad with zucchini and sun-dried tomatoes

Sometimes simple can be so delicious. I tend to reach for lots of ingredients to boost a dish's flavour. But more ingredients don't necessarily make a dish better. Take Italian cuisine: they don't use many ingredients in a dish, and the flavours are fantastic.

This salad is an example of 'you don't need much to eat well'. Just five ingredients (plus a little oil and salt & pepper) and you're done.

Arugula salad with zucchini and sun-dried tomatoes

    1. Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until they are nicely browned, then set aside.

    2. Cut the zucchini into pieces and fry them in the pan with a little olive oil.

    3. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces and dice the avocado. Put the arugula in a bowl and toss it with olive oil and salt & pepper. Arrange the avocado, tomatoes and zucchini on top and finish with the toasted pine nuts. Enjoy!

This salad is ideal as a light lunch or as a side to a summery meal. The combination of warm pan-fried zucchini and fresh arugula makes it a lovely dish for any season.

Mix it up by adding some grated Parmesan or a splash of lemon juice. The toasted pine nuts add a nice crunchy bite to the salad.
