Arugula and Carrot Salad With Walnuts and Cheese image

The best type of arugula for this salad is the feathery type called wild arugula. I love the contrast of flavors here - peppery arugula alongside sweet carrots and a nutty dressing.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less honey next time.
