    Is arugula the same as rocket? 🤔

    What if I don’t like lemon? Is there a substitute?

    1. User avatar wellRespected says:

      You could try using vinegar instead, like balsamic or apple cider! It’ll give a nice tangy flavor too.

      I dunno, is there really a good substitute for lemon? Just try the recipe as it is.

      Nuts in salad? That sounds weird but I bet it adds a nice crunch. Glad you enjoyed it!

    I’ve never tried arugula before. Is it supposed to taste so peppery? It was good, but not my favorite green.

    This salad is super refreshing! The lemon gives it such a great zing. I used feta instead of Parmesan though. Yum!

    Um, can I just say? What is arugula? Sounds like a fancy word for lettuce. Ha!

    1. 5 stars
      Arugula is actually not just fancy lettuce! It’s a peppery green, adds a real zing to salads! You should try it!

      LOL, I thought the same thing! But it’s kinda special, not just lettuce. You can find it in stores usually.

    I don’t understand why people like salads. This is just leafs with some juice! Not a meal.

      Salads are actually super healthy! You should give them another chance. They can be filling too, especially with cheese on top!

      But it ain’t just leaves! That lemon and cheese make it tasty. You might be missing out!

    Lemon and arugula are a match made in heaven! I added some walnuts for crunch. Definitely trying again!

    Too much lemon for me. I think I added a bit too much juice, oops. Will try less next time.
