This arugula berry salad is fresh, light and delicious. If you wanted to, you could use a single type of berry of this salad (say blueberries) and add some Feta cheese. But personally, I love the mix of berries, and if sweet and succulent blackberries aren’t in the mix, you’re definitely missing out!   I also forgo the cheese, but that’s just my preference.  This salad is bright and colorful and screams of summer!
