Arugula with Steak, Lemon and Parmesan

This recipe comes to us courtesy of the Renegade Lunch Lady Chef Ann Cooper and her book Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed our Children. We love the flavor combination of the spicy arugula, the clean citrus, and the grilled flavor of the meat--not to mention the Parmesan! This is probably best served at home for lunch, but it can also be sent in a lunch box as long as the greens aren't dressed ahead of time--send the dressing on the side.
