It's been really a very tiring week and it is finally Saturday..Thank God it is Saturday...it doesn't mean that am working all week or anything, am a housewife :( and a mom of TWO:) ,today in Bologna is pretty hot and I wanted to eat something really refreshing and in the same time didn't wanna cook.;) so I've decided to make this new salad, it is new for me at least....I love italian rucola it is really heavenly good with balsamic vinegar..Yummy..Rucola or Arugula is an aromatic salad green. It is also known as rocket, roquette, rugula and rucola, and is popular in Italian cuisine,Like most salad greens, Arugula is very low in calories and is high in vitamins A and C. A 1/2 cup serving is two calories..I even growing my own now in the balcony!!
About the aceto balsamico or balsamic vinegar...it is originally made in Modena..a city not far from bologna where I live, you can find all about it
here.
back to our salad...let's get to work.
