Rocket (Arugula)
Hi B. & Daniel,
How much of the rocket do I eat? It’s very peppery and bitter.
How long before I eat my main meal should I eat this?

Hey ,
It depends a bit on what effect you are searching for. Perhaps you can share the reason to what you would like it to do?
To make it more tasty you could work with fresh herbs as well. I often combine it with basil leaves or dille. But other herb combinations might work as well!

Daniel, To kick start the digestive process.

eat the whole thing at the start of your meal! Have as much as you can tolerate. It’s supposed to be bitter – that’s the whole goal. If you really can’t stand the taste, dress it up with my GLO dressing from my book. I’m planning on sharing that recipe with the next B Better Insider email in April but here it is in the meantime:
GLO (Garlic, Lemon juice, Olive oil) Dressing:
Makes: 3-4 Tbsp of dressing
Ingredients:
1 clove garlic, crushed (or ¼ tsp crushed garlic)*
½ lemon, juiced (or 2 Tbsp lemon juice)
2-3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/8-1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
Dash of pepper, or to taste
Directions:
1. Mix all of the ingredients together.
2. Adjust seasoning to taste. Extra dressing can be stored in the fridge for 2 weeks.
*Note: If you don’t like the strong taste of garlic, use half the amount instead so approximately ½ garlic clove or 1/8 tsp crushed garlic. -
Thank you
