Advice

The dish is extremely adaptable. You can add a variety of spices as desired. For a spicy version, add chili powder; for an Asian twist, add soy sauce and powdered ginger; for a Mediterranean version, add basil and rosemary. Arugula can be replaced with dandelion greens, young spinach, or radicchio.
