Arugula salad is a light and flavorful dish that features arugula leaves, known for their peppery taste and vibrant green color. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, this salad often includes ingredients like cherry tomatoes, shaved Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, and sometimes nuts or seeds for added texture. Arugula itself is a nutrient powerhouse, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like calcium and potassium. It’s low in calories, making it a healthy base for salads. Olive oil and Parmesan contribute healthy fats and protein respectively, but moderation is key due to their calorie content. The inclusion of fresh vegetables and quality ingredients makes arugula salad a refreshing, heart-healthy choice that supports digestion, boosts immunity, and provides antioxidants. Whether enjoyed as a starter or side dish, it brings nutrition and bold flavors to the table.
