Strawberries are a summer must in our home. They not only taste delicious but are a great source of Vitamin C and fiber. Gatsby loves to steal them when they’re drying on the counter! Arugula is also known to have cancer-fighting properties as it is in the cruciferous vegetable family (think broccoli and kale). I love this simple salad which can be served as a whole meal or a healthy BBQ side.
