Wash and thoroughly dry the arugula, then toss it with chopped tomatoes, crumbled white cheese, and roughly broken walnuts. Dress with olive oil and lemon juice just before serving, and taste before adding salt because the cheese may already be salty.
A simple olive-oil and lemon dressing works best with this salad. Its acidity balances the salty cheese and rich walnuts without hiding the peppery arugula; add it shortly before serving to keep the leaves crisp.
Yes, you can prepare the components ahead, but keep the dressing and tomatoes separate until serving. Store washed, thoroughly dried arugula, cheese, and walnuts in separate covered containers in the refrigerator so the greens stay fresh.
Serve it alongside grilled chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. It also works with crusty bread as a light lunch, since the cheese and walnuts give the salad more substance than plain greens.
Yes, briefly toasting the walnuts brings out their aroma and adds extra crunch. Toast them in a dry pan over moderate heat, watching closely so they do not burn, and let them cool before tossing them with the arugula.
Use young arugula and balance its peppery, sometimes bitter taste with lemon juice and ripe tomatoes. A moderate amount of white cheese also softens the flavor; adding lots of dressing can make the leaves limp without removing the bitterness.
It is best eaten the day it is made, because the tomatoes release liquid and the arugula wilts. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and eat them by the next day; do not leave the salad sitting out for hours.
Feta is a common substitute for white cheese and gives the salad a similarly salty, crumbly finish. Goat cheese also works if you want a tangier taste; adjust the added salt after tasting whichever cheese you choose.
Cut and add the tomatoes just before serving, rather than letting them sit mixed with the arugula. If they are especially juicy, remove the seedy center and add salt at the table, since salt draws more liquid from tomatoes.
Yes, it makes a fresh, satisfying light lunch, especially with whole-grain bread or another substantial side. The cheese and walnuts add richness, while the tomatoes and arugula keep the meal crisp and refreshing.

Arugula, walnut, white cheese, and tomato salad brings together peppery leaves, juicy tomato, tangy crumbled cheese and crunchy walnuts. It is a Mediterranean-style combination rather than a dish with one fixed recipe; the ingredients are usually served raw, dressed simply with olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar.
The sharp greens balance the salty, creamy cheese and the walnuts’ earthy crunch. Across the Mediterranean and in English-speaking kitchens, it works as a light lunch, a starter or a fresh side for grilled vegetables, fish or bread. It offers fibre from the greens and tomato, along with unsaturated fats from walnuts. For a lighter version, use a modest drizzle of oil and let lemon, herbs and ripe tomatoes carry the flavour.
