Easy Arugula Salad

This is my all time favourite salad recipe....



4 cups young arugula leaves, rinsed and dried (you can use green leaf lettuce in a pinch)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced

In a large plastic bowl with a lid, combine arugula, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, oil, vinegar, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and shake to mix.

Divide salad onto plates, and top with slices of avocado.
