I love this salad and have the same recipe in one of my cookbooks except it doesn't mention the optional bleu cheese (it's either or for this recipe-parm or bleu but not both.) I toast the walnuts first. To tone down the strong peppery flavor of arugula I sub some baby spinach leaves or loose leaf lettuce. Thanks cg

I'm married to the love of my life and my high school sweetheart. (Corny, but true..)We have 4 children and everyday is an adventure, for sure. My love for cooking came from my childhood. My grandma made the best huge southern meals without any recipes at all, most of her ingredients coming from her garden. I loved watching her cook. Organic foods are a must and I try to add them to whatever I make for my family. I enjoy going to our local farmers market and making something out of what I've found that day. I love to travel with my family, especially to the ocean. We hope to live by the coast someday....
