This vitamin rich salad is one of my favorites! It is bright and robust with minimal ingredients that are bursting with flavor. Not only does it taste good, but it is packed with goodness.
One cup of strawberry has only about 50 calories, and gives you about 3 g of fiber. It has calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and about 85 mg of vitamin C. It is a great source of antioxidants. They also contain chemicals that can help protect cells against breast cancer. Caution: But this is one fruit you want to add to your “organic” purchase list. Based on research, they are known to be one of the most contaminated with agricultural chemicals and pesticides.

On the other hand, one cup of Arugula contains only 5 calories. And you get your folic acid along with a whole bunch of eye healthy ingredients. It is also a great source of vitamin K, which is an essential nutrient to help your body heal against injuries like blood clots etc.
So here’s what you will need:
Baby Arugula Leaves, Strawberries, Feta Cheese, Sliced Avocado (Optional)
Dressing: Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Salt & Pepper
Enjoy…
