Arugula

In Season
Spring, Summer, and Fall

Storage Tips
Store up to 1 week

Dry greens will store for longer. If arugula is a little bit damp, spin dry in a salad spinner before storing in a plastic bag in your refrigerator. Or you can place a paper towel in the bag to absorb the moisture. 

​For long-term storage, blend into a pesto (see recipe below) and refrigerate or freeze.

Culinary Tips
Make a simple and tasty arugula salad by adding a soft cheese, dried fruits, grated carrots, and walnuts tossed in your favorite vinaigrette.

Add to sandwiches and omelettes for color and taste.

Quickly braise or sauté and add to a pasta with grated parmesan.

Add cooked arugula to quiche and lasagna.
​
Smaller arugula leaves tend to be milder, while larger leaves tend to have a more aggressive, peppery kick.
