Arugula Recipes

Arugula is a peppery green, sometimes referred to as “rocket.” When I buy arugula, I usually look for arugula labeled as “baby arugula,” because I like the smaller leaves and slightly milder in taste.

Purchase arugula that has dark, crisp green leaves. Brown or yellowing leaves are on their way to spoiling. Also pass on any arugula that looks wilted or has excessive amounts of moisture.

One of the things I love about this green is that it is great served raw, like in a salad, but it also works well in many cooked dishes or in pestos, and even on pizzas. My favorite pizza to make at home lately is sauce, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and prosciutto. When it comes out of the oven, I drizzle it with balsamic and top it with fresh arugula.
