Arugula is a delicious peppery green alternative to lettuce, and the citrus juice dressing is the perfect combination of flavor.  Garnish with walnuts or sunflower seeds and enjoy.

 

According to Health.com, Arugula is low in calories, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. It is loaded with fiber, vitamins A, C and K, and other nutrients, including potassium. Arugula may even boost your romantic life! The minerals and antioxidants packed into dark, leafy greens are essential for our sexual health because they help block absorption of toxins that dampen the libido.
