Arugula! Arugula! Arugula!

Whenever I say the word, arugula, I want to chant it over and over again. Most often arugula is used in salad dishes and other great dishes as simply a garnish! I love its peppery background taste! It is truly a blessed vegetable. I thought, how can we make it stand out on its own? How do you make it shine brightly in a dish or more than one dish. I love pesto, so I said to myself humm..."Arugula Pesto":

1 lb. arugula
1 c. cashews
1 tsp. salt ( sea salt)
1/2 c. olive oil

Puree.

So, what can you do with it?

Dressing
Add to apple cider vinager, water and more olive oil for a great salad!

Sandwich
Spread on bread or mix with mayo!

Use any way you would use pesto, you cannot go wrong.

It lasts in the refrigerator for about a week and you may freeze it for those winter blues!
