    I almost always have a container of arugula (or rocket) in my fridge. I love the bitterness that it adds to salad.

    With it's assertive flavor, it also holds it's own in many recipes from salads, to pizza, to pesto and even pasta!

    If you're looking for the best arugula recipes to spice up your cooking you have come to the right place!

    Arugula salads.

    Let's start with salads. We have six salads for you to try some are side salads and some are main dish salads.

    A favorite side salad that can be made year round is our Arugula Salad with Grapes and Sunflower Seeds. The grapes are the perfect balance for the slight bitterness of the arugula.

    Some other favorite side salads to try are our Arugula Salad with Pears and Prosciutto, a fresh Herb Salad and Roasted Beets and Blood Orange Salad.
