A creamy garlic dressing is a nice foil for peppery greens. Feel free to substitute watercress for the arugula.

4 servings | Active Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• Freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 6 cups arugula leaves
