Roasted Carrot and Arugula Salad Recipe

The Arugula is bolting. Which means we need to whip up a yummy salad quick! I've got you covered. Find a recipe, down below...

When salad greens 'bolt' it's their way of saying life in the greenhouse is too hot to handle. They send up pretty flower stalks, hoping to go to seed. Their leaves turn bitter quickly -- the best solution I have for such a dilemma is to compost these beauties and start all over again.

Every Wednesday, I volunteer at a local organic farm - with high hopes of learning a whole lot more about growing my own veggies.

This week's fab harvest included fresh, baby carrots. They lounge on these screened tables after I give them a bath:

Rubbed, tubbed and scrubbed: first baby carrots.
