Pesto With Arugula

Rocket (arugula) with beetroot, feta, walnut and a honey balsamic dressing.

Recipe Summary Pesto With Arugula

This pesto is unique due to the arugula, which gives it a peppery bite. I also like the lack of cheese, but add it if you must. Use as a spread or on pasta. My favorite is on baguette slices or on whole wheat crackers. It's addictive!
