Wild arugula, often called rocket, is a leafy green with a distinct peppery flavor that adds a delightful kick to various dishes. Its tender leaves are characterized by their slightly spiky shape and vibrant green color. Commonly used in salads, this versatile green can also be used as a flavorful topping for pizzas, mixed into pasta dishes, or even blended into pesto for an extra twist.
Toss it into salads for a peppery kick, add it to sandwiches for extra flavor, or use it as a garnish for a delightful finish. Its bold taste elevates both simple and complex dishes.
