The Arugula Rocket Salad Roquette, 'Eruca sativa', is one of the most popular "new" greens. The interesting flavor of Arugula will add spunk to any boring salad. Descriptions such as hot with a hint of nut flavor, tart, and spicy are used to describe Arugula. Roquette Arugula is most often eaten raw in salads but is also steamed or added raw to many other dishes, such as pizza. Rocket Salad Arugula prefers light, fertile, moist, and well drained soil. In warmer climates, delay planting during the heat of the summer.
