Arugula Mango Chicken Salad – 6 Servings

Suzy Lewis

Baby arugula is a tender, mildly spicy green, with a distinct flavor. Mature arugula tastes “angry” and is better used with other greens to balance out the flavor, or in sandwiches. It’s good to add a variety of greens into your diet to get a wider variety of plant nutrients. For a little extra crunch, try adding Romaine lettuce with the arugula. Feel free to use other sweet fruits if mangos are not available, some suggestions are pineapple, apple, or blueberries.
