Arugula salad with lemon and candied pistachio

This salad is my take on my absolute favorite salad on the menu at Fortina, their arugula salad. It’s lemony, laced with crushed candies pistachios, and coated in a shower of freshly grated parmesan. I honestly don’t really know the secret to it’s magic but I suspect it lies somewhere in the dressing and oh yeah, that it’s covered in parm. While I don’t ever resist a trip to Fortina, this recipe holds me over between reservations.
