" Like us, your morning probably got off to a terrible start when you awoke and saw that romaine lettuce had been recalled in 23 states. Uh-oh. There goes that delicious and well-deserved salad you had planned for dinner on a Friday night. No need to pick up that Caesar dressing after a long week of work. You might just have to have a burger; one of the symptoms in this E. coli contamination is brain bleeding and, really, who wants to put themselves through that? But if you&amp;#039;ve had burgers three nights running and feel the need for some greenery, we say: stick to arugula. Actually, anytime you want a salad, there&amp;#039;s a reason to stay away from romaine. Spinach has iron. Foraged greens \u2014 like mesclun \u2014 have that nice, outdoorsy, benefit of having been &amp;quot;foraged.&amp;quot; And arugula has that subtle peppery flavor, adding a stronger taste to meals than most other greens. All are healthier than romaine or iceberg and, let&amp;#039;s face it, pretty much the only reason to eat a salad is health. It&amp;#039;s the apology to your gut after a marathon of more worthwhile food; it&amp;#039;s an excuse not go to the gym for a day; it&amp;#039;s a way to make your mom proud. And, as we all know, Mother&amp;#039;s Day is upon us. So if you&amp;#039;re really feeling like getting your lettuce on, here&amp;#039;s a solution. It&amp;#039;s a simple recipe that my neighbor taught me when she came over for dinner once. Then, we served it as a side dish, but it&amp;#039;d make for a good Saturday lunch, too. Here&amp;#039;s how: take a container of arugula, and add one sweet, chopped red pepper, a whole avocado, and several slices of fresh mozzarella. Next, squeeze in the juice of half a lemon, a decent amount of olive oil, several grinds of the pepper mill, and a few pinches of salt. Finish with a small handful of walnuts, to add the crunch that arugula lacks. Then enjoy \u2014 because there&amp;#039;s something else arugula seems to be lacking at the moment: E. coli.
