Salad need not be boring.  Banish that notion from  your mind.  This salad--along with this Mediterranean Chopped Salad, Greek Power Bowl, and Strawberry Balsamic Salad--is proof.  #saddesklunch be gone!

For this little number, I loaded up some arugula and baby greens with lots of berries and roasted beets.  Then I added some crunchy toasted pecans and some salty feta cheese.  Top all of that with a tangy-sweet homemade poppy seed dressing, and you're in business.
