BEET AND ARUGULA SALAD WITH BERRIES
Berries and beets: a salad of dark green, blue and purple hues if there ever was one. I threw this together because I had these ingredients on hand - beets that I'd roasted several days earlier, arugula that was bolting in my garden, and berries from the market - and it worked. The sweet-tart flavor of the berries contrasts beautifully with the earthy sweetness of the beets and the pungent arugula.
