Oil-Free Arugula, Tomato and Onion Salad brings peppery leaves together with juicy tomato and sharp onion, without an oil-based dressing. It is a simple combination found in many salad traditions rather than a dish tied to one particular region. The contrast of crisp greens, soft tomato and pungent onion gives it plenty of freshness and bite.
Serve it alongside grilled foods, beans or a sandwich, or let it stand on its own as a light side. A squeeze of lemon and a little salt can bring the flavours together without adding oil. At 19 calories per 100 g, it is a low-calorie choice and provides vitamin C; add chickpeas or bread if you want a more substantial meal.
