Spinach and Arugula Salad with Creamy Parmesan Dressing

I wanted to have something healthy-ish for Christmas so I found a few recipes for salad.  D and I ultimately chose this one.  We used a rutabaga for the turnip, because neither one of us knew what a turnip was and thought the rutabaga was a turnip.  We both liked it, and had more on New Year's Eve.
