This Fig and Pistachio Salad is the perfect combination of sweet fruit, crunchy nut and peppery green with a tangy dressing. The arugula can be subbed for any peppery green; arugula, turnip greens, and mustard greens work really well. Or use the leafy greens of your choosing!
Featured Ingredient
Arugula (aka rocket) is a super nutrient-dense food rich in phytonutrients (especially glucosinolates and carotenoids), vitamin K, and folate. Glucosinolates are sulfur-containing compounds that break down into bioactive isothiocyanates and indoles – compounds that are absolute rock stars as far as human health is concerned!
