Wonderful! Had a bunch of beauitiful fresh arugula in my organic share box plus some organic avocados and this salad really let the wonderful flavors shine through. Made it two nights in a row! Dressing is wonderful but could overpower the other ingredients so I'd suggest going easy on it when tossing and adding more as needed. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This was a nice, easy, light summer salad. I used feta instead because that is what I had on hand.

I was given some arugula from a friend's garden and made this salad with it. So delicious! I especially love the dressing and will be using it on salad quite often.
