6 Nutritious and Tasty Salad Greens
Incorporating healthy greens into your diet is an excellent way to spice up a meal, as well as a great way to get more calcium, folate, and vitamins A, K, and C.
Arugula
Taste: this pleasantly pungent and peppery green is also known as rocket, roquette, rugula, and rucola. It is a staple of Italian
fare and often found in mesclun (young tender greens) salad mixes, where it behaves like a cross between lettuce and herb.
Smart Substitutions: Watercress, endive, or young mustard greens.
Recipe Idea: Arugula is great on its own as a salad base, atop sandwiches or pizza, or mixed in with pasta. The peppery taste can jazz
up virtually any bland lunch or dinner. Take this peppery shrimp pasta for instance; the arugula adds a herby pepper taste
to this dish.
