Salad with arugula, strawberries and feta cheese

Bright, healthy and light salad with an unusual taste. There is a taste contrast in this salad - the sweetness of ripe strawberries and the slight sharpness and piquancy of arugula. It is this duet that gives the salad an unusual and distinctive look. Arugula itself has an ambiguous taste similar to mustard with a nutty tinge. Walnuts and dressing complement and enhance the taste of the salad well. Salad goes well with any meat dishes.

Arugula is also called mustard grass or rocket salad. Its versatility is noted not only in taste, but also in usefulness.
Arugula greens contain vitamins, A, C, E, K, group B, folic acid, iodine, manganese and other trace elements. The use of arugula promotes better absorption of iron, which allows you to maintain the level of hemoglobin.
Arugula is added not only to salads, but also to baked dishes, pasta or stewed vegetables, various sauces, pizzas, put in soups and casseroles.
Arugula goes well with seafood, meat, mushrooms, cottage cheese, and other green crops.
It is better to eat a cooked salad right away, since arugula loses its useful properties during storage.
