This salad is so easy to make that I contemplated not sharing it. At the same time healthy eating should be simple, so I thought why not.

We eat a lot of salads. I decided to give D a break from kale and used arugula instead. Like kale, arugula is full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Quinoa would also be a nice addition. I made a simple white balsamic vinaigrette dressing and tossed it lightly.
