2025 Food Festival: May – Arugula

This year, Chef Andrew Smith, Culinary Director, curated our Food Festivals and prepared some delicious recipes to help celebrate each ingredient!
For the month of May, we’re celebrating Arugula. Often overlooked in favor of more familiar leafy greens, arugula brings a bold, peppery flavor and a ton of personality to any dish. Whether tossed into salads, layered on sandwiches, or blended into pestos, this vibrant green adds more than just taste—it’s also packed with nutrients.
Chef Andrew has shared a crisp, flavorful Arugula and Pine Nuts Salad recipe that is perfect for Spring.
