Arugula recipes

A peppery, vibrant twist on classic basil pesto where arugula does most of the work — its sharp, mustard-like heat gives this pesto a complexity that basil alone can't match. Made in a blender in under 5 minutes and tossed with hot pasta, this is one of those weeknight recipes that feels much more special than the effort required.

A summer salad that pairs the sharpest, peppery arugula with the sweetest, juiciest watermelon — they're natural counterbalances. Salty feta and a honey-lime dressing tie everything together into one of the most refreshing salads of the season. This is a crowd-pleaser at every summer gathering and takes under 15 minutes to put together.
