Arugula, a vibrant and peppery leafy green, enchants the palate with its bold, nutty flavor. Its delicate, dark green leaves showcase a deeply lobed profile and tender, succulent texture. Often included in the mesclun mix, arugula adds a dynamic element to salads and sandwiches with its signature piquancy. This garden favorite also dresses up pizzas and pastas, wilts beautifully into warm dishes, and can serve as a stand-alone side when simply dressed with a lemon-olive oil vinaigrette. Beyond its culinary appeal, Arugula is rich in vitamin K, folate, and calcium, making it a healthful addition to any diet.
