Recipe

Arugula and Couscous Salad
This salad has a tart lemon dressing that blends perfectly with the bold flavor of the greens.

Bring 1 1/2 cups water to boil; remove from heat and add 1 cup couscous and cover. When the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes, transfer to a salad bowl and toss with juice of 2 lemons, 1/8 cup red wine vinegar and 1/4 cup olive oil. Add 1 cup cooked lentils, 2 cups chopped Garden arugula, 4 finely minced scallions, 1 diced cucumber and 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved. Just before serving, add 1/2 cup feta cheese, toss and serve.

Description

This is a smaller, wilder form of arugula we get from Italy. It is especially heat tolerant, and the finely cut leaves can be used whole in salads, as you would mache, though the flavor is much stronger.
