Arugula Pomegranate Salad

No ratings yet
Arugula, called roka in Greek, with its peppery bite and refreshing flavor, is one of the favorite salad greens in Greek cooking. It is often paired with shaved cheese and fruit. With a drizzle of extra-virgin Greek olive oil and a splash of Greek balsamic, this salad makes the perfect foil to a rich meal, but also stands on its own, sparkling with flavor.
