Recipe idea

Edible parts
Aromatic leaves
Recipe idea for your organic 'Bellezia' arugula harvest. Prepare a large salad with freshly harvested leaves. Rinse them in several changes of water if there is any soil in the folds, then spin them dry thoroughly. Tear the large leaves into bite-sized pieces and keep the smaller ones whole. Mix a tablespoon of cider vinegar with three tablespoons of oil, a little mustard, and a pinch of salt. Pour only the amount needed to coat the foliage. Add apple wedges, cubed cheese, and a few shelled sunflower seeds. Toss with your hands or two large spoons to maintain volume and serve immediately. Well-dried foliage holds dressing better and prevents a watery plate. The thick stems can be chopped more finely than the tender parts to balance the bites. If you are combining multiple harvests, use the sturdier leaves as a base and add the most delicate ones last.
