Food Finds - Arugula
If you haven’t guessed by now, my partner, Greg Ricci, is Italian. And I am a Southerner of German decent (who has lived half of my life in Ventura County). What does this have to do with real estate? Nothing. But it does have to do with the 805Local “Food Finds.”
With Greg being Italian and having grown up with the fertile soil of Thousand Oaks, he loves fresh vegetables especially salads. So coming from the South where salads consisted of head lettuce or cole slaw, I had a lot of catching up to do!
Greg’s dad, Tom, introduced me to arugula several years ago and I immediately fell in LOVE. This year I decided to grow my own patch of arugula. It is easy to grow, thank goodness.
One of our favorite ways to eat arugula is simple. Place arugula in a large bowl with grated Parmesan cheese, tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives and toss with olive oil and rice vinegar. Now this is a Food Find! MMMMMM
