Beet Arugula Salad

I dislike salads in general, so when I tell you the beet arugula salad is yummy you should believe me! My friend has also told me that she doesn’t like beets, but likes my beet salad, so make sure you get pickled beets and not canned beets for the tart flavour that sets this recipe apart. I thought that pickled beets must be low in glycemic index, but they are actually medium, so pairing with arugula and cheese is key to bring down the overall glycemic index of this recipe.
