163/365 Awesome Arugula

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

My former roommate Fabrizio loves making food with arugula. It is a dark, leafy green popular in Italian cuisine. It is low in calories and provides lots of vitamin A and C. It is in the mustard family so it is a little bitter and spicy.

Enjoy arugula in a salad with baby spinach, purple cabbage, tomato, and pine nuts or walnuts. My dad puts it on top of pizza. He also sautes it with mushrooms, onions, and garlic.

Arugula is an easy, tasty addition to your meals. Enjoy!

In health,

Lauren
