Arugula is pretty easy to come by here in Paris. And I think at 14€ a kilo even President Obama would approve! I paid 78 centimes for the organic arugula in this recipe.
Arugula is an excellent source of antioxidants, rich in vitamins A and C, folic acid, calcium, manganese, and magnesium. It contains carotenes and chlorophyll and is also a very good source of potassium, iron, zinc, riboflavin, and copper.
I love the flavor of this soup and call me lazy but it’s nice to have a break from chewing!
Recipe:
- 4 cups loosly packed arugula
- 2 tbsp minced red onion
- 1/2 cup pinenuts
- 1 avocado
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt or herb salt
- 1 1/2 cups water
Blend all ingredients in food processor until smooth. Add water to the consistency you like. Serve cool and immediately.

Wow! So green, so creamy. And like you I enjoy a change from the ‘make like a cow’ pose at lunch time.
Not sure how many serves this was meant to be but I ate the lot, after adding a little more salt and a dash of honey.
