Spring Arugula Salad

Spring Arugula Salad

This spring arugula salad is delicious! This time of year diet should be light, warm, dry and rough. Think bitter greens, astringent beans and pungent chilies. 

Dosha considerations -
Pitta avoid chili and add coriander or fennel as seasoning. Swap arugula for mixed greens. 
Vata can cook in ghee.
