This Gnocchi Salad has impressed all of us! I admit this recipe made me a little nervous because of its ingredients - Gnocchis AND Arugula - apparently for no reason! But quite the opposite: I pretty much found a new star in my salad heaven!
I am not much of a salad eater - not even with pasta or potatoes - okay, maybe when we are having a BBQ I eat it for sure. But without lying this is a salad I am looking forward to eat.
This recipe taught me to think outside the box. Because normally I instantly drop a recipe if I cannot image how it tastes. I am glad I didn't do it this time. I even found a new favourite veg: dried tomatoes.
For the recipe: If you don't have any olive oil at home you can also use the oil that comes with the dried tomatoes. I always do it like that and it has a wonderful flavour.
What's also good to know: If you have no time to to let the gnocchis cool off, just quench with water. It really tastes better with cooled down gnocchis. I am not a fan of warm arugula :-)
