This Arugula salad is one of my favorite salads to make. It has a low-calorie count and the berries that are added are loaded with good antioxidants our bodies need to fight a variety of diseases, including lung, skin, and cervical cancer; heart disease; high blood pressure, and age-related mental decline. 

Let me know how it came out in the comment section.
