This salad is a bit too heavy on the dressing for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, but I still enjoyed this salad.

I can't wait to try this recipe with different variations of the dressing. I think a lemon-tahini dressing would be delicious.

This salad is so versatile! I added some grilled chicken and crumbled feta cheese to make it a complete meal.

The dressing was light and tangy, perfectly complementing the salad without overpowering the individual ingredients.
