For the best play between sweet, hot, and salty ingredients, look for spiky arugula, labeled “rocket” or “rucola,” at the farmers’ market. It’s much more peppery and sturdy than what you’ll find at the supermarket. For an over-the-top dinner menu, serve this salad with Romano bean salad, paccheri with shellfish, grilled red mullet, grilled bistecca, and brioche au rhum. We said over-the-top.
