This salad with arugula, poached egg, and sun-dried tomatoes embodies the lightness and sophistication of Italian cuisine. Arugula's spicy, slightly bitter flavor pairs beautifully with delicate feta cheese, while sun-dried tomatoes add rich sunny notes. Lemon juice and olive oil enhance the freshness of the ingredients, and the poached egg gives the dish softness and a creamy texture. This salad is suitable for a light dinner or as an elegant appetizer to a main course. Historically, arugula has been used in Mediterranean cuisine since Ancient Rome, and sun-dried tomatoes became popular for their ability to preserve intense flavor. The finished salad delights with contrasts of textures and harmony of aromas, creating a small gastronomic journey to the heart of Italy.
