Arugula, Manchego, and Sun-Dried Tomato Salad

This delicious and easy arugula salad is from Martha Stewart's web site (http://www.marthastewart.com/332805/arugula-salad-with-shaved-manchego). It was a nice accompaniment to a shrimp, honey, and cilantro main dish. It serves 4.

Ingredients

- 1 - 2 tbsp honey (I used two)
- 2 tbsp white balsamic or white wine vinegar (I used balsamic)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (I used a very high quality, mild, Greek EVOO)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper to taste
- 2 bunches arugula, about 1 pound total, well rinsed and with stems removed (I used a package of prewashed arugula, with stems already removed, from Publix. So, it took much less than a pound.)
- 1/4 cup of oil-packed, sun-dried tomatoes, drained and thinly sliced
- 4 ounces Manchego cheese

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk honey and vinegar until combined. Whisk in oil. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Add arugula and sun-dried tomatoes.

3. Using a vegetable peeler, thinly shave the Manchego. Add half to the bowl, and toss to combine.

4. Divide the mixture among four serving plates. Top with remaining Manchego, and serve.
