Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

1 pound very thinly sliced bresaola
4 to 5 cups loosely packed fresh baby arugula
4 to 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (8-ounce) piece Robiola, cut into bite-sized pieces

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Arrange the bresaola slices on a platter and allow them to come to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

    Step 2

    2. Place the arugula in a large bowl. Drizzle with just enough olive oil to lightly coat the leaves, then season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and toss to combine.

    Step 3

    3. Mound the salad in the center of a serving platter, reserving some for garnish. Arrange the slices of bresaola and Robiola on top, garnish with the remaining arugula, and serve.
