Overview
The sweetness of berries complements peppery arugula in this no-fuss, healthful salad. Antioxidant-rich berries may help battle inflammation, and olive oil is rich in oleocanthal, a compound with strong anti-inflammatory properties. For added crunch, toss in a handful of omega-3-packed walnuts. Baby spinach or watercress can be substituted for arugala.

Ingredients

4 packed cups arugula
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. creamy-style blue cheese
