Rucola Salad Recipe
Rucola and arugula, same vegetable, different variety. Rucola tends to have a little more flavor. If it’s a little strong for you, you can always wash it, dry it, and store it in the fridge for a day or two before you enjoy it. Since our greens are picked so fresh, they’ll have more flavor and rucola can be a little spicy, which is part of what makes it a healthy choice to make salad with often.
This is the simplest salad recipe that I’ve posted. You don’t need much to create a great lemon dressing that makes rucola or arugula shine.
