Five simple ingredients and a few pantry staples come together in just 20 minutes as a lovely side dish, perfect for any occasion. A perfect way to enjoy fresh greens, arugula is the star of this dish, with the colorful addition of grape tomatoes and some tangy goat cheese. These greens make an excellent side dish for a roasted chicken or some grilled salmon. Add them to your favorite hot pasta for vegetarian, one-dish meal. Make this dish with other wilted greens such as Swiss chard, spinach or a chicory for slight flavor variations. Exchange the goat cheese for traditional feta or it's creamier cousin French-feta for another possible variation.

Ingredients

Pine nuts

¼ cup(s)

Olive oil

2 tsp, extra virgin

Grape tomatoes

Garlic

1 large clove(s), minced

10 oz, baby variety, 2 (5-ounce) containers

Table salt

⅛ tsp, or to taste

Black pepper

⅛ tsp, freshly ground, or to taste

Soft goat cheese

  4. Add arugula to tomato mixture; cook, tossing with tongs, just until wilted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss. Spoon arugula mixture into a serving bowl; sprinkle with cheese and pine nuts.
