Arugula, also known as rocket, is a peppery and flavorful green that is commonly used in salads in Venice. The Arugula Salad is a simple yet delicious combination of arugula leaves, cherry tomatoes, shaved Parmesan cheese, and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The peppery arugula is balanced by the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes and the tanginess of the balsamic dressing, creating a delightful salad.
