Arugula Salad Tips
How do I store arugula?
To store arugula, first gently wash it under cold water and dry on a clean dish towel or on paper towels (or use a salad spinner). Then, layer the leaves between pieces of paper towel in a plastic bag and store in your fridge’s vegetable crisper drawer. For the best flavor, use within three to five days.What pairs well with arugula salad?
Arugula salad makes a nice side dish for pork chops, grilled lemon-rosemary chicken and baked salmon. For a vegetarian option, try serving this salad alongside lentil white bean pilaf.What other dressings work well with arugula?
Due to its delicate leaves and strong flavor, arugula is best dressed with vinaigrettes as opposed to heavier, creamier dressings. Try switching out the dressing in this recipe with balsamic herb vinaigrette, berry vinaigrette or citrus vinaigrette. How can I customize the recipe?
This peppery arugula salad pairs well with any mixture of fruits, nuts and vinaigrettes. Try switching out the raisins for dried cranberries or cherries. Instead of almonds, use toasted pecans, hazelnuts or walnuts. Try adding different ripe fruits and berries, such as mandarin oranges, pears, apples, raspberries and cherries. Experiment with different cheeses like blue cheese, feta or shaved asiago.
Editor's Note
To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Ingredients
12 large egg whites (about 1-2/3 cups)
1 cup cake flour
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 vanilla bean (see Editor's Note) or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
GLAZE:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons 2% milk
Buy IngredientsPowered by Chicory
Directions
Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325°. In a small bowl, mix flour and 3/4 cup sugar until blended.
Add seeds from vanilla bean (or extract if using), cream of tartar and salt to egg whites. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until soft glossy peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
Gently transfer batter to an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on lowest oven rack until top springs back when lightly touched, 45-55 minutes. Immediately invert pan; cool completely in pan, about 1-1/2 hours.
Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate.
For glaze, in a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, seeds from vanilla bean (or extract if using) and enough milk to reach desired consistency. Spread glaze over cake, allowing some to drip down sides.
Editor's Note
To remove the seeds from a vanilla bean, cut bean lengthwise in half with a sharp knife; scrape out the dark, pulpy seeds.
