Crispy Salmon Arugula Salad

Print

This is my favorite salad that I eat at least twice per week. The iodine content of the fish makes it an excellent source of nutrition for the thyroid.

Further Food Commentary:

Arugula has a nice amount of vitamin K and one cup contains almost half the recommended daily allowance. It has only 5 calories and has the same amount of calcium as spinach. It is loaded with minerals and antioxidants. Arugula tastes great raw or cooked.
