Arugula salad with shrimp is a refined dish of Italian cuisine that combines the freshness of greens with a marine note. Arugula, known for its spicy, slightly nutty flavor, perfectly complements the tender shrimp soaked in a light citrus dressing made from lemon juice and olive oil. This salad is easy to prepare but looks elegant, making it an excellent choice for a festive dinner or a light summer lunch. In Italy, dishes with arugula are valued for their freshness and health benefits, while the combination with seafood adds sophistication. The salad is good as a standalone dish but also works well as an appetizer before the main course. Light, aromatic, and nutritious – it will delight lovers of Mediterranean cuisine.
