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.
