Greens

Arugula is one of the earliest fresh spring greens available.  Of all the salad greens, arugula is one of the most nutritious.  Packed with disease fighting phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals, arugula can help the body cleanse itself of toxins and potential carcinogens.  
 
The best way to eat arugual is raw. I enjoy it with lentils tossed with a vinaigrette dressing and topped with Feta cheese.
