It also has the same spicy flavor and bitterness. This is why it makes a really good option for replacement. Yet, once you cook it, the spicy taste will probably fade away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike arugula, watercress tends to get very soft when it\u2019s cooked. However, it\u2019s used as a garnish and is a very popular one. You could also cut it up with your salad, add some of it to your soup, or add it to a sandwich. If you want some sauce, you could make some pesto out of it, too. The leaves can also be added to soups and stews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-image-640\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-640x320.jpg\" alt=\"Watercress is a good alternative for Arugula\" class=\"wp-image-10620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-640x320.jpg 640w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-2048x1024.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-480x240.jpg 480w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-720x360.jpg 720w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-960x480.jpg 960w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-1168x584.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-1440x720.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-1920x960.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3-4-150x75.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Watercress is a good alternative for Arugula<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-substitute-spinach-for-arugula\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Substitute_Spinach_For_Arugula\"><\/span>Can I Substitute Spinach For Arugula<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spinach is one of the most popular leafy vegetables in the whole world. Like arugula, it can also be eaten both raw or cooked. It\u2019s known for its wrinkled leaves, which are very <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/health-benefits-spinach#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rich in nutrients<\/a>. If you\u2019re looking to avoid the bitter taste of arugula, spinach should be your best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good thing about spinach is that you can eat it in a diverse range of meals. You can chop it into a salad, steam or saut\u00e9 it with some vegetables, add it to some pasta, or even make a healthy smoothie out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-substitute-dandelion-greens-for-arugula\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Substitute_Dandelion_Greens_For_Arugula\"><\/span>Can I Substitute Dandelion Greens For Arugula<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike spinach, dandelion greens tend to have a more bitter taste. Yet, like arugula, they have that special pepper taste. You could also make them into special dandelion coffee. They\u2019re available throughout the year and are very easy to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re also very high in vitamins and proteins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-substitute-radicchio-for-arugula\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Substitute_Radicchio_For_Arugula\"><\/span>Can I Substitute Radicchio For Arugula<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Radicchio is a very popular leaf vegetable and is distinguished by its purple leaves and white veins. It shares a lot of <strong>similarities with arugula because it has both a bitter and spicy taste<\/strong>. Those flavors can become a lot milder when the radicchio is cooked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radicchio is also known as \u2018Italian chicory\u2019 and is found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicoryweek.com\/radicchiogallery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a lot of shapes and colors<\/a>.

They come in different varieties, but all of them share the same characteristics: their dark green color, their slightly bitter taste, and their crunchy texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use kale in many ways. You can either boil it, steam it, or saut\u00e9 it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-image-640\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-640x320.jpg\" alt=\"Baby Spinach is an alternative\" class=\"wp-image-10621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-640x320.jpg 640w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-2048x1024.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-480x240.jpg 480w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-720x360.jpg 720w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-960x480.jpg 960w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-1168x584.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-1440x720.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-1920x960.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4-2-150x75.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Baby Spinach<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-is-arugula-bitter\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_Arugula_Bitter\"><\/span>Why Is Arugula Bitter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arugula can be bitter as a young vegetable but it certainly becomes rather bitter as it gets older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-you-tell-what-is-an-old-arugula-in-the-supermarket\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_tell_what_is_an_old_Arugula_in_the_supermarket\"><\/span>How do you tell what is an old Arugula in the supermarket?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can tell an old Arugula when its leaves are over 4 inches. Also at that stage, the plant may start producing flowers. When the Arugula has flowers the green leaves are extremely bitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When shopping for groceries, if you see an item labeled &#8220;baby&#8221; or &#8220;young,&#8221; buy that one instead of just any old arugula. They\u2019re small leaves, usually no longer than two inches long, and they\u2019re quite fragile. They aren&#8217;t just simpler to eat; they taste better because they don&#8217;t contain as many bitter flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-tastes-similar-to-arugula\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Tastes_Similar_to_Arugula\"><\/span>What Tastes Similar to Arugula<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The most similar tasting alternative for arugula is Fris\u00e9e.
