This salad was amazing! The arugula was fresh and peppery, the goat cheese was creamy and tangy, and the sugared pecans added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this salad again.

This salad was a disappointment. The arugula was wilted and the dressing was bland. The sugared pecans were the only saving grace.

I thought this salad was just okay. The arugula was a bit too peppery for my taste and the dressing was a little too sweet. I probably won't make this salad again.
