Peppery arugula, crunchy wheat berries, and creamy, salty feta. What’s not to love?!
Salads like this are a great way to get in fiber and vitamins without feeling bored. Pair this with a grilled chicken breast for a wonderfully light, but filling lunch!
Some fun substitutions:
Sweet potato--- butternut squash
Wheat berries—farro
Feta cheese—goat cheese
Try adding in diced apples or dried cranberry!
