KIRAZLI ROKA SALATASI
From turkishcookbook.com. A salad from Istanbul. Note: because fresh cherries are out of season (shame, because Rainier cherries from Washington state would be amazing in this recipe!) I replaced them with sweet dried cherries. You also have the option of substituting other seasonal fruit: peaches, pears, etc. in either fresh or dried form. Turkish feta subbed for the tulum cheese (the latter which I've yet to find here locally).

ARUGULA SALAD WITH WALNUT VINAIGRETTE FOR TWO
This is a lovely light salad that easy to prepare. We prefer to toast nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, which takes four or five minutes. Make sure to shake the pan occasionally to turn the nuts. If you don't have walnut oil, replace the canola and walnut oils with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH WALNUTS (CEVIZLI ROKA SALATASI)
From turkishcookbook.com. I think if I ever visited Turkey I would quickly become fat and happy. Tulum cheese is the traditional cheese in this intensely flavored salad. It is described as "tangy" in taste. Unfortunately tulum is impossible to find here (I'll have to call around town and see if I can locate it). Meantime, in its place I substituted a good quality chevre and the second test run-freshly grated myzithra. If anyone has a better cheese suggestion for the salad, please *let me know*! Don't say Velveeta. The arugula may suddenly wither and die on the spot. The fresh basil and dried pomegranate seeds are my addition.

Steps:
- Note: the dressing tastes best if prepared at least 1 hour in advance of serving.
- Wash and drain the arugula well.
- Depending on the size of the leaves, leave whole or chop up into smaller pieces.
- Arrange the arugula on a platter or on 4 individual salad plates.
- Whisk all the dressing ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings. If you want the dressing a little spicier, add more of the (powdered) red pepper flakes.
- Drizzle dressing over the arugula; gently toss. Add goat cheese (or tulum cheese if available). Garnish walnuts on top.
- Finally, add the basil leaves and if desired, garnish each serving with a light toss of dried pomegranate seeds.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, young arugula. Look for leaves that are bright green and crisp.
- If you don't have walnuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your salad, such as crumbled feta cheese, diced tomatoes, or sliced cucumbers.
- Arugula salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled or roasted chicken or fish.
- To make a vinaigrette dressing, simply whisk together olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- You can also use a store-bought vinaigrette dressing if you're short on time.
