Salads are one of my favorite things to make and eat. I love how fast and easy it is to throw one together when you are in a rush or to take one with you on the go. It’s fun to get creative and make your very own masterpiece. The more color you can add the better. For a complete meal be sure to add veggies, fruit, a good fat and a protein. This is a great starter salad or makes the perfect entree. Arugula also known as rocket is one of my favorite greens! It’s great mixed with other greens or on it’s own with a simple oil and vinegar dressing. Arugula is super high in vitamin C and a great source of copper and iron. It’s filled with phyto-chemicals that help fight carcinogens in the body and is also an amazing anti-inflammatory! If you are looking for tiny shrimp I found mine at Costco. Be sure to look for wild caught whenever you purchase fish. Enjoy!
