ARUGULA, CHERRY AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD
This salad was inspired by a dish billed as Cherries and Goat Cheese on the menu at Westside Tavern in Los Angeles. Even if you're not inclined to add fruits like blueberries and cranberries to salads, this combination could change your mind. Even sweet cherries have a tart edge to them, and the combination of their sweet/tart flavor and juicy but firm texture with the pungent arugula, creamy goat cheese and crunchy nuts works very well.

[email protected]Overall, this salad was a bit underwhelming. I think it needs more flavor. Maybe I'll add some grilled chicken or roasted vegetables next time.

[email protected]The dressing was a bit too heavy for my liking. I'll try making a lighter vinaigrette next time.

[email protected]This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less cherries next time.

[email protected]Not a fan of goat cheese, so I used feta instead. Still turned out great! The salad was light and flavorful, with a nice crunch from the walnuts. Will definitely make this again with feta.

[email protected]This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of arugula, cherries, and goat cheese is divine. I added a balsamic vinaigrette dressing, which complemented the flavors perfectly. Definitely a keeper!
