This delicious arugula beet salad has them all. Starting with a base of any kind of greens will always add fiber and loads of nutrients. Beets are an excellent source of starch and fiber. Healthy fat comes from the avocado, nuts, and dressing. The recipe features feta cheese for protein, but feel free to switch it up or combine it with something different — hard-boiled eggs, tuna, broiled fish, or chicken — to round out your meal.   The dressing’s deliciousness speaks for itself. It has a bold, zesty flavor that adds a punch to any salad. The sweet-salty contrast that it lends this salad is what makes the dish a real showstopper. Even if you keep the meal pareve, it won’t disappoint.
