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.

This recipe is from "Alive" Magazine. I used greengrapes instead of red - Red will be nicer but I had green on hand. The "Alive" recipe calls for 1/4 cup Hemp Hearts I didn't have any so omitted them. This is adifferent very enjoyable salad - The Grapes are a must that help blend all the flavors together

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PEACHES, GOAT CHEESE AND BASIL
This simple, quintessential summer salad is a reminder that seasonal ingredients at their very best don't need much fussing (or much cooking at all, in this case). Here, peppery arugula and earthy goat cheese get brightened with juicy summer peaches, but the recipe can be tweaked to suit all seasons: If you can't find ripe peaches, you can use cherries, strawberries, plums, raspberries or even cherry tomatoes in their place.

Steps:
- In a small sauté pan, toast the pine nuts over medium heat, tossing often, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- In a small liquid measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
- Place the arugula in a large salad bowl. Pour just enough dressing over the greens to moisten, and toss to coat. Add the peaches, basil, goat cheese and toasted pine nuts and toss to coat. Add more goat cheese and dressing if desired. Toss gently and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe cherries. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to thaw or drain them before using.
- If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute feta cheese or mozzarella cheese.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon. Just be sure to heat it up before adding it to the salad.
- If you don't have walnuts, you can use pecans or almonds.
- To make the salad dressing, you can use either red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar. If you don't have either of those, you can use white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
Conclusion:
Arugula cherry and goat cheese salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet cherries, tangy goat cheese, and peppery arugula is sure to please everyone at your table. This salad is also a great way to use up any leftover arugula or goat cheese that you have on hand.
