This assertive panzanella has the most flavor when made with mature arugula, but baby arugula also works well. Serve with grilled steak or turkey sausage.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
8 cups arugula, (7 ounces)
1 tablespoon minced garlic

Step 1
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in bread; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and starting to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and arugula; cook, stirring, until arugula just wilts, about 1 minute. Push the mixture to one side.

Excellent use for Arugula I had a whole tub of arugula that was fast approaching its expiration date. There was no way that I could eat all that as a cold salad, so I made this recipe, spread it on a plate and topped it with a filet of fresh poached salmon. Delicious! To retain the texture of the croutons, I recommend removing them from the pan while preparing the rest of the recipe, then adding them back in at the end. Pros: Arugula has short shelf life. Great recipe when you have an overabundance of arugula!
