Recipe
Ingredients
1/2 cup pine nuts
3 oz arugula -- stemmed and
1 washed
2 oz parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 fine sea salt to taste
Recipe
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 350#161#.
2. Spread the nuts loosely on a baking sheet. Toast until lightly
browned, about 10 minutes. Check every few minutes to avoid burning
the nuts. Remove from the oven and turn out onto a large plate to
cool.
3. In a large shallow salad bowl, combine the arugula and toasted pine
nuts. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan cheese into long
thick strips directly into the bowl. Season the salad with fine sea
salt and toss gently to blend.
4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon vinegar over the salad and season with
pepper, and toss to blend. Add just enough oil to very lightly coat
the arugula, and toss to blend. Serve immediately, arranging on large
serving plates.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tips
In deciding on a meal plan, it is essential to also make sure you cut down your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.
Some low carb diet guidlines:
* Use soya flour or baking mix.
When you have to use flour for baked goods, substitute soy flour or a baking mix such as Atkins soy baking mix. Most of the time, you may convert your most popular recipes that use standard wheat flour to use these alternatives.
* It is possible to make wonderful smoothies by using low carbohydrate yogurt.
I know, you can't really describe it as cooking, but if you really want smoothies you can make perfectly acceptable alternatives by using low carbohydrate yogurt and fruit. Clearly, you will need to ensure you only make use of fruit that is low in carbs and use the whole fruit as you need the fiber.
