Yes we Aussies do call it Rocket. I remember hearing arugula in an American YouTube video a few years ago and had to look it up. This sounds pretty tasty

TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I'll try to make this roka salata.

[lauraellen]

This is such a beautiful and healthy salad! I like arugula much more than romaine or spinach! Great idea having at Thanksgiving!

[TheWibbo]

can you do your version of boiled green salad, horta. It's always something i look for when visiting Lesvos.

[jimkontos]

Would my homemade blueberry vinaigrette work on the salad

[haigjamgochian]

Can you substitute figs with any other dried fruit? May be apricots?

[LindaC]

Hmmm.... Im usually not a fan of sweet...but now you have me thinking of the orange cranberry almonds from Girl Scouts. ... theyre v good....or pumpkin spiced pumpkin seeds from Trader Joe's....
I'm lucky that I can get relatively cheap pine nuts here (that same supermarket chain that has Portuguese/Spanish/Greek foods).

Yani, the children's father was a great cook. He nor YiaYia ever did a salad like that ever. They were big on basic lettuce with either dill or mint and red wine vinegar. I have been looking and asking about a dish YiaYia use to do but have come up with zero results and I suspect it was a Greek Turkish fusion. Everything yiayia cooked was amazing. This dish I have failed to duplicate is with grated tomatoes, whisked eggs and eggplant. I have tried sooo hard but have failed as it tastes nothing like what YiaYia use to do. Do you know of such a dish? I have scoured the internet.

Due to anger issues, I love watching something brief and clear. Nice salad !!
