ARUGULA, CHERRY AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Arugula, Cherry and Goat Cheese Salad image

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.

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to the salad. Basil, oregano, and thyme are all good choices.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You want to be able to taste the flavors of the tomatoes and goat cheese, not just the dressing.
