Italian term or phrase: Salsa di Rucola
sto traducendo delle etichette, ma sono molto indecisa sul termine "rucola". L'ho visto tradotto in mille modi: rocket, chicory, arugula (americano), ma quale è quello più corretto secondo voi? Grazie per qualsiasi contributo!

ma è vero che \"arugula\" è la versione americana...
\"Also called rocket, roquette, rugula and rucola, arugula is a bitterish, aromatic salad green with a peppery mustard flavor. \"
Penso che tutti i nomi siano giusti. A questo punto potresti pensare al target del prodotto per la traduzione. potresti tradurre con \"roquette\" se vuoi fare più chic ecc...
