Pick ripe and flavorful tomatoes. I’m partial to heirloom tomatoes, and I still have a few in my garden. But choose the best your market has. They are the stars of this salad.
Now, we mentioned “superfoods” and “healthy.” Let’s talk about what’s in this spinach salad!
Spinach Salad with Arugula and Heirloom Tomatoes
Here is why this spinach salad is so good for you! It’s filled with wholesome ingredients and chock full of healthy benefits.
Spinach
“Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids), manganese, folate, magnesium, iron, copper, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin E, calcium, potassium and vitamin C. It is a very good source of dietary fiber, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc, protein and choline.”
Arugula
Considered a cruciferous veggie, “Arugula contains about 475 IU of vitamin A per cup, which helps maintain eye health, and it provides 21.7 milligrams of brain-boosting, bone-building vitamin K. Vitamin C and several of the B vitamins can also be found in arugula, giving it even more nutritional benefits. Arugula is also high in antioxidant phytochemicals, which are compounds that aren’t vitamins or minerals but that boost health when consumed. Specifically, arugula contains the compounds kaempferol and quercetin, which are released when you chew or crush the leaves.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are abundant sources of lycopene, which is protective against prostate, breast, lung, and colon cancer.
And now… the oh-so-simple recipe.
