- 8 cups arugula
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling
- Coarse salt
- 6-ounce chunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1 pound bresaola (cured beef, like prosciutto; available at deli counter)
- 1 can (15 ounces) artichoke hearts in water, drained
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup capers, drained
- Aged balsamic vinegar, for drizzling (look for 6-plus years of age, widely available in many markets)
- Place the arugula in a bowl and dress with lemon juice, EVOO, and salt.
- Divide the arugula among 4 dinner plates or place on a serving platter and mound the greens.
- Use a vegetable peeler to shred some cheese on top of the arugula.
- Arrange the bresaola in a thin layer all around the plate, draping it over the arugula.
- The plates or platter should look like a mound of beef.
- Thinly slice the artichokes, finely chop the rosemary and parsley, and slice the capers.
- Decoratively arrange the artichokes, chopped herbs, and capers all over the meat.
- Drizzle the completed salad with aged balsamic vinegar and serve.
