NOTES : Arugula (ah-ROO-guh-lah) is also called rocket or roquette. It is a

peppery salad green sometimes mistaken for dandelion. Mature leaves are large

and very pungent. Add a few leaves to accent a mixed salad. Young leaves can be

used alone. Rinse leaves well in cold water, pat dry, and chill in a plastic bag

for up to 2 days. Substitute some or all in recipes calling for young spinach.
