Dr. Fuhrman's Beet, Arugula and Chickpea Salad

I know I've mentioned this before, but I have a $3.95/month subscription to the Dr. Fuhrman Member Center. The main thing that I get out of it is one Dr. Fuhrman approved uber-healthy recipe sent to my e-mail inbox every day. You are probably asking why someone would need such a thing, given the proliferation of healthy recipes on the internet in places like Pinterest and on blogs, plus all of the amazing cookbooks that are now out there.

And that's just what happened with this Beet, Arugula and Chickpea Salad. I had come home later than usual from work last night and I wanted to throw together a nice dinner for my family. I didn't have the time to start washing and chopping salad greens, so the base of arugula here, besides the fact that I adore arugula, was a huge time saver.
