If you're unfamiliar with arugula, it has a very unique, pungent and almost peppery flavor. Often overshadowed by green superstars like kale and chard, arugula also has an impressive nutritional profile! According to livestrong, arugula contains about eight times the calcium, fives times the vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K, and four times the iron as the same amount of iceberg lettuce . . . I don't know about you, but I'm sold!
WHAT YOU NEED:
INGREDIENTS
arugula
pine nuts
lemon juice
olive oil
salt & pepper
optional: parmesan
PRINTABLE RECIPE
