Notes
Nutrition For Mental Health
Arugula contains vitamins and minerals that do a body good! It contains vitamins C, K, A, folate, as well as calcium and potassium. Arugula is rich in vitamin K, which has been shown to reduce the risk of depressive symptoms in US adults. Storage Tips
Since this salad has avocado, it’s best to eat it quickly, within 24 hours, or else the avocado will turn brown and the arugula will get soggy. If saving any for later, keep it free of dressing to prevent the whole thing from becoming wilted.
