Rocket salad, commonly known as arugula salad, is a vibrant dish featuring the peppery, slightly bitter leaves of the rocket plant (Eruca sativa). Native to the Mediterranean region, rocket has been celebrated in Italian cuisine for centuries, often served fresh, tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, and parmesan shavings. Its light texture makes it an ideal base for salads, pairing well with fruits, nuts, and proteins. Rocket is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and is packed with antioxidants that support immune health and skin vitality. It’s also a source of calcium, potassium, and folate, aiding bone strength and heart health. Low in calories and carbohydrates, it aligns well with weight management diets. However, its slightly higher oxalate content could be a consideration for individuals prone to kidney stones. Overall, rocket salad is a flavorful and nutrient-dense addition to any meal plan.
