I wish recipe wasn’t in metric. Now, I have to go and convert grams into ounces. And, what are rocket leaves? I guess any Bibb, etc., lettuce will do.
Just had some with pumpernickel toast. It was so good I had to go for seconds. I used the basalmic dressing and spinach because that’s what I had on hand. Quite yummy but if you use spinach, I recommend cutting the leaves up instead of using whole.
Dear Deborah, not only is the recipe healthy but your brain is stimulated when you have to convert it. Rocket leaves are a type of lettuce, so feel free to use any type of leafy greens.
Rocket leaves are arugula.
