Arugula Pesto and Why You Should Eat More Arugula

June 5, 2013 By Karen Sorenson

Last week in my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box I had a mysterious bag of lettuce.  I wasn’t exactly sure what it was so I grabbed a leaf and began to chew.  Whoa!! It was peppery!  After many hours of watching the Food Network I knew that peppery lettuce had to be Arugula.  The only time I ever eat arugula is mixed in with salad greens.  Since I had a whole bag to experiment with, I decided to try something different and make Arugula Pesto.  The pesto ended up being a lot more mild on the pepper factor, which was just perfect.  I ended up spreading the Arugula Pesto on some wild salmon and pan searing each side until golden brown.  Delicious!  Before I get to the recipe I wanted to share some interesting health facts about Arugula.
