If you are making it for a mid-week dinner then take leftovers for lunch the next day. We do recommend using fresh rocket leaves on the day. However, you can freeze rocket leaves

To store rocket, wash, drain and dry it, then place in an open plastic bag. That way you can keep it for about 3 days in the refrigerator.
You can also freeze it either as whole or chop leaves and store it in a plastic freezer bag for use in cooked dishes.
