Beet, Fennel & Arugula Salad
10 ingredients · 25 minutes
I can’t believe how easy this salad is. And even better? It’s tasty, high in fiber & great for digestion!
Beets & arugula are superstars. Both are rich in nitrates, which the body uses to produce nitric oxide, a powerful vasodilator that increases blood flow through the body. This means better performance – mental, physical & sexual!
They’re also full of antioxidants, detoxifying & both stimulate digestive enzymes & juices. This can really help with issues like bloating, gas, constipation & loose stools. I suggest getting your arugula from your local farmer’s market when in season – you cannot beat the flavour of fresh arugula.

While the fennel cooks, drain & dice the beets into bite-sized pieces.
Peel & dice the orange.
Add the arugula, beets, orange & fennel to a large bowl.
Whisk together the oil, salt, Dijon & vinegar in a small dish.
