Rocket Salad
This Rocket Salad is a fresh, flavorful salad that makes the perfect side dish for any meal. It is incredibly simple to make, yet it looks and tastes like it came straight from a fancy cafe, bistro, or restaurant. The show's star is the rocket, also known as arugula, which adds a peppery kick to the salad. And the Parmesan cheese brings a salty, nutty flavor that complements the rocket perfectly.
