Arugula salad is a vibrant dish featuring peppery arugula leaves often paired with ingredients like cherry tomatoes, shaved parmesan, red onion, and a light vinaigrette. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, arugula has been a staple in Italian, Greek, and Middle Eastern diets for centuries. Known for its distinct, slightly bitter taste, arugula is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with calcium and antioxidants that support bone health and immune function. The salad's simplicity makes it an excellent low-calorie option, while the inclusion of healthy fats from olive oil enhances nutrient absorption. However, variations with heavy dressings or excessive cheese can increase calorie and fat content. Ideal as a starter or side dish, arugula salad combines refreshing flavors with nutritional benefits, making it a cornerstone in wholesome, flavorful eating.
