    I like a simple lemon juice and grapeseed oil dressing with a tiny bit of salt for any arugula salad. Maybe some small bits of shaved parmesan? A little of that can go a long way.

    Could I add other vegetables?

    Thinly sliced raw mushrooms and zuchini, grated carrot, sliced red peppers, radishes, blanched green beans or asparagus, cherry tomatoes, sliced sugar snaps ... the list goes on and on. Most veggies are good raw in a salad, but I wouldn't try aubergine. As long as you stay away from starchy veg like potato, sweet potato, sweetcorn etc you should be low in cals so pile them on. If you can afford some calories try avocado either diced in the salad or mashed and made into a dressing with some lemon juice. Also good to add seeds such as sunflower or pumpkin as they add a nice crunch as well as good nutrients. Enjoy!
