Feta Avocado Arugula Salad

Incorporating a salad into your meals is one of the easiest ways to boost your vegetable intake and fiber, serving as a natural bulking agent. While salads are quick and easy to prepare, they are often labeled as boring or repetitive. Many assume that a typical salad is just lettuce, tomatoes, and a few fruits and nuts with a store-bought dressing. However, this Feta Avocado Arugula Salad defies that notion. The peppery, slightly pungent arugula pairs beautifully with the creamy avocado, sharp capers, and tangy feta cheese. Sweet peas add a satisfying crunch, while cherry tomatoes burst with juiciness in every bite.

In addition to its vibrant flavors, this salad is highly nutritious. The ingredients are rich in fiber, which benefits gut health. Avocados provide heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that help lower cholesterol and reduce inflammation, while arugula and other components supply essential vitamins including B, C, and K, along with calcium, potassium, and magnesium.

Give this recipe a try and enjoy a salad that’s anything but ordinary. Its simple dressing and innovative combination of flavors make it a delightful and wholesome choice.
