FRESH MOZZARELLA AND ARUGULA (ROCKET) PIZZA



Fresh Mozzarella and Arugula (Rocket) Pizza image

Fresh arugula sprinkled atop a hot cheese pizza is simplicity at its best. Arugula wilts slightly and the peppery flavor comes out. You must try this with arugula, although baby spinach can be substituted, but it's not the same. This is just delicious!

Tips:

  • To make sure your arugula is fresh and crisp, rinse it thoroughly and pat it dry before using.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of vinegar in the dressing. A balsamic or a red wine vinegar would be great substitutes for the white wine vinegar.
  • If you don't have roasted red peppers on hand, you can easily roast your own. Simply toss some red bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in a 400-degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly charred.
  • Fresh mint is the best choice for this salad, but if you don't have any, you can substitute dried mint. Just use about half the amount of dried mint as you would fresh.
  • You can make this salad ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just wait to add the dressing until you're ready to serve.

Conclusion:

This arugula, mozzarella, roasted red pepper, and mint salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this one a try!
