Arugula, Spring Greens and Recipes!

In this post I will show you how I harvest my arugula and spring greens, provide several ideas on what to do with your arugula, (store bought is fine too) as well as the recipes. It turned into an epic post, sorry. I wanted to keep it all together, though. Let me know what you think or if you have questions.

A peak into my "Spring Greens" garden and how to harvest them.

A super simple Arugula salad with recipe below the video

Super Simple Arugula Salad

bowl of clean arugula

sliced onion

feta cheese

salt and pepper

fresh lemon juice

olive oil

Ideas of things to add to this salad to make it more substantial or to change things up a bit:

cooked chicken breast

sliced strawberries or Mandarin oranges

goat cheese instead of feta (added at the end on top)

pine nuts or any nut of choice

Frittata

Sauteing your arugula with some chopped onion and sweet peppers and then adding eggs, milk and cheese makes a delicious frittata.

Arugula Pasta

I also made a delicious pasta dish using my arugula.

Chop lots of garlic, sun dried tomatoes and fresh arugula

( I should have used way more, as it shrinks quite a bit)

Saute the garlic and sun dried tomatoes in plenty of olive oil for a few minutes.

Add the arugula and saute for another couple of minutes. Add salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste.

Add leftover chicken breasts to heat through.



Toss with your favorite pasta and dust with freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese. Add a little more olive oil to finish it up and Mangia!
