Rocket Salad with Pomegranate Date Syrup Dressing

We enjoyed this divine salad at farm-to-table ecolodge Adrére Amellal in Siwa. Organic peppery rocket (arugula) leaves - known as gargeer in Arabic - are complemented by a sweet and tangy dressing made from the syrups of local dates and pomegranates. At Adrére Amellal this salad is served as a kind of palate cleanser between vegetarian starters and sumptuous main courses.
