Salad Rocket

A tier

Salad rocket is the everyday cultivated Eruca sold in bags and bunches—milder when baby, assertively peppery when large. Texture is tender compared with wiry wild rocket; flavour is mustard-nut with a clean finish. The default for rocket salads, steak toppings, and quick pestos. Dress at the last second so leaves stay lively.
