This salad was a bit too peppery for my taste. I think I'll use less arugula next time.

I'm always looking for new salad recipes and this one caught my eye. I'm so glad I tried it! The dressing is amazing and the combination of flavors is perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover arugula. I usually add some chopped walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I often make it for potlucks and it's always gone in minutes.

This salad was a disappointment. The arugula was wilted and the dressing was bland. I won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great. The dressing is a bit too tangy for my taste, so next time I'll use less balsamic vinegar.

This salad is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The dressing is so good that I've even used it on other salads.

Delicious and easy to make. I used dried cranberries instead of fresh and they worked great. I also added a bit of crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.

This salad is so refreshing and flavorful. I love the peppery taste of the arugula and the tangy dressing. It's the perfect salad for a light lunch or dinner.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing is amazing and the combination of flavors and textures is perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.

Easy and delicious! I made this salad for a potluck and it was a hit. The dressing is simple but flavorful, and the arugula and goat cheese pair really well together. I also added some sliced almonds for extra crunch.

This arugula salad was a delight! The combination of peppery arugula, tangy balsamic vinaigrette, and crunchy walnuts was perfect. I especially loved the sharpness of the red onion and the sweetness of the dried cranberries. It was a great side dish
