About how much is 2 bunches of arugula? I don't usually see it sold in bunches.
About five cups.
Quite apart from its own merits, this makes a lovely accompaniment to the Porchetta-Style Pork Roast, and since that recipe calls for fennel fronds, this one gives you a way to use the bulbs. Consider doubling the dressing and then adding it to taste; the last time I made the salad, it didn't seem adequately dressed.
Arugula/Orange/Fennel is a great combination. There are a few of us who are allergic to mustard and salads can be a minefield in this respect. If you want an interesting and mustard free version of arugula/orange/fennel, consider Naz Deravian's version from his "Bottom of the Pot" cookbook.
Add pomegranate seeds if available
Used 1 T of lemon juice and 2 T of orange juice in the dressing to make it a little tangier. Salad got rave reviews.
