I wish my arugula looked like that. :(

I love all the different greens this time of year. I use arugula in a couscous dish with mint, basil, tomatoes, feta and cucumbers plus a lemon vinaigrette. It's a perfect dish. I also love ricotta gnocchi, but I add herbs to mine to give it more flavor. Herbed Ricotta Gnocchi with Asparagus, Peas and Scallions and Lemony Couscous Salad.

I think I might have killed my arugula...at least most of them don't look like they are gonna make it...the black-thumb bandit strikes again.
