Arugula and Carrot Salad With Walnuts and Cheese image

The best type of arugula for this salad is the feathery type called wild arugula. I love the contrast of flavors here - peppery arugula alongside sweet carrots and a nutty dressing.

I found the dressing to be a bit too oily. I would recommend using less oil, or even omitting it altogether.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could use more seasoning.
