As a general rule, I pour about the size of a quarter in the palm of my hand, which is about one teaspoon, and then taste test the recipe adding a bit more if necessary. For ingredients that I do not precisely measure, like salt, I keep the amount as it is listed in the recipe. So you may be right, the sodium may be low...play with the amount, starting low and adding more if the taste is not there.<br /><br />Good question about the arugula. It does have piguant flavor that many people describe as spicy or peppery and can be easily substituted for spinach or any other green if you do not prefer the taste. The little sauteing called for in this recipe will not change its taste drastically. <br /><br />So glad you liked the granola!! It's a definite favorite in our house.Mamahollionihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671581296638223880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79220730164176215.post-19484148447862572732009-09-01T11:04:36.959-07:002009-09-01T11:04:36.959-07:00i am surprised by the low sodium content. i have h...i am surprised by the low sodium content. i have had baby arugula before and it seemed bitter, does cooking it slightly remove some of that or could i just substitute baby spinach? by the way thanks for these recipes, your granola is to die for!!clean and crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156586299182570611noreply@blogger.com
