1. Apple Pecan Arugula Salad
"BIG HUGS to you and this salad!" Holly
A delicious combination of apples, pecans, arugula, red onion and if you're up for it - cranberries. Prep is simple as it's just a matter of making the lemon vinaigrette (lemon, maple syrup, olive oil and salt and pepper) then toasting the pine nuts and tossing everything together. Lovely!

2. Arugula Salad with Olive Oil, Lemon, and Parmesan Cheese
"This is the simplest salad. Amazingly light and tasty. Perfect!" Pam J
A simple salad that will add just a little ping to any meal (or mouthful). Pop everything together, toss well and then shave some Parmesan on top - easy as that. The recipe says 10 minutes preparation time but we think if it even takes you 5 minutes you must have had a nap half way through!
Total time: 10 minutes
3. Easy Arugula Salad
"UNBELIEVABLE. The Parmesan and the dressing go together perfectly and really complement the zippiness of the arugula." Naomi Witzke
This is a wonderful side dish to accompany any meal, with the ingredients blending together beautifully with a simple dressing. Alongside the arugula it includes; cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, avocado and parmesan as well as a delicious rice vinegar and olive oil dressing.
Preparation couldn't be simpler, just pop all the ingredients (except the avocado) together and mix. The avocado left to one side can now be sliced over the top of the salad to help attract the hungry hordes (not that they need much attracting).

4. Arugula Salad with Lemon Balsamic Dressing
"This salad was amazing!! Quick, easy and a nice change!" Krista
Another wonderfully simple side salad, this one has a great lemon balsamic vinegar dressing that adds a delightful ping to offset the arugula bitter. Combined with sweet cherry tomatoes this is one of those salads you need to get on your plate quickly before it vanishes.
Preparation is only 5 minutes, just half the cherry tomatoes and add with lemon zest to the arugula then create the dressing - combine and pop off your chef's hat, it's done.

5. Penne Pasta with Brown Butter, Arugula, and Pine Nuts
"My family LOVES this dish. I make it at least once week, sometimes twice. It contains so many of my favorite ingredients, I don't change a thing!" Maria B
Yes, this is as delicious as it sounds and with total time at 19 minutes it's super-quick. There are four main steps in the recipe: 1. Cook the pasta - follow the packet instructions, nice and easy. 2. Create the dressing - combine the olive oil, lemon juice and zest and add salt and pepper. 3. Create the brown butter - this is the most interesting step and will give you the look of a seasoned kitcheneer while actually not being too tricky. 4. Mix it up!

6. Linguini With Arugula, Garlic & Parmesan
"Pretty sure I could eat this every day. I love simple pasta recipes, and you can’t go wrong with arugula, garlic, and parmesan. Yum!" Taylor
If you're anything like me you were probably salivating just reading the title of this little beauty. While cooking the pasta, heat up some olive oil in a frying pan and add sliced garlic, cooking until a nice gold or very light brown color. Then add the olive oil and garlic to your cooked and drained pasta along with the arugula and Parmesan.
So many delicious and complimentary flavors bouncing around the tongue in this recipe, it's an absolute winner.

7. Fresh Tomato and Arugula Pasta
"YUMMY and a great thing to use up fresh tomatoes!" Carrie Wilson
This is a similar recipe to the previous one in terms of how it's made and as with the linguini recipe it's filling enough to be perfect for lunches or dinners.
You begin cooking the pasta then get a frying pan or skillet and cook off the onion and garlic in olive oil, add chopped tomatoes and red pepper before stirring it through the arugula. Once you've drained the pasta it's just a question of adding the skillet ingredients and topping with pine nuts and slivers of parmesan.

8. Arugula Pasta Salad
"I love love love all the fresh flavor in this! Such a perfect healthy pasta salad!" Joanne
A great salad to have on its own for lunch or dinner as well as a delicious accompaniment to the meat of the day. Cooking the pasta takes the most time and for everything else it's all just a matter of popping it in bowls and mixing. First mix the main ingredients arugula, capers and Parmesan. Then mix the dressing ingredients together (includes basil, garlic and lemon juice) and coat the salad with the loveliness.

9. Quick And Easy Goat Cheese, Raisin, Walnut And Arugula Flatbread Pizza
"Perfect pizza as per usual, and I'm loving the arugula (or rocket as we call it in Australia). I add it to every single pizza I make! I'm addicted. Try it with a wedge of lemon?" Bec
As the title says, this a lovely simple dish that's great to whip up in a hurry.
Grab some of your favorite flatbreads, toast them in the oven for a few minutes then top with the goat cheese, raisins and walnuts and pop back in the oven to melt the cheese and warm the ingredients. While you are waiting, make the arugula dressing and toss it through the leaves, then just top the pizza with it. Simple and delicious as that!
Total time: 15 minutes
10. Arugula Pizza with Poached Eggs
"This pizza was great!! very simple and even my whole family of completely different picky taste buds enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend buying a thin pizza crust as said in the recipe" cewqqq
This is another of those delicious titles that gets my saliva buds saliving*. It may just be the mention of poached eggs or it may be too close to lunch time but I need to eat this now!
You can use ready-made pizza dough or use the flatbread trick from the previous recipe to form the base. If you do use the flatbread trick remember not to cook for as long.
Start cooking the base then add the cheese and return to the oven. Cook your poached egg as you like it and toss the arugula with the rest of the ingredients. Then just take out your base and top with the arugula and egg. Delicious!
