Arugula is also known as rocket, roquette, rugula and rucola, and is popular in Italian cuisine.

Rinse the leaves in cool water and dry on paper toweling. Store in zip lock bag. Best if used within two days.

Its leaves have a unique, peppery sweet tang, adding pizzazz even to the blandest salads. Try Arugula Tomato Salad.

Arugula provides the same flavor impact as onions, but with-out an aftertaste.
