Arugula is a wonderfully versatile vegetable. Also called rocket, this peppery, nutty-tasting member of the mustard family has blossoms and leaves that have long been a popular ingredient in the cuisines of Italy, Morocco, Portugal, and Turkey. It’s naturally great in salads, like this citrus and ricotta-filled one, or paired instead with radicchio and fennel. But you can also combine it with pasta or toss a few leaves on a lamb burger for a little extra bite.
