I love a salad with an arugula base - it is bold, peppery, and light at the same time! I threw together this salad for a recent summer family get-together and I absolutely love its simplicity and fresh lemon taste.

This “Harvest Salad” is a Corner Bakery Copycat that turned out really surprisingly fantastic! When made fresh, it is the perfect crisp lunch that leaves you full-ish, but not stuffed. The fresh zing of the apple paired with the sharp blue cheese is my favorite!

Sometimes, you have to build recipes around one ingredient. Today, that ingredient was arugula. With a fresh bag filled with arugula sitting in my fridge, I pondered how to use it with other things I already had. What I originally wanted to use it for was totally impractical - fancy crostini with goat cheese and prosciutto, or something - so I looked into arugula salads. Are they even a thing? Turn out they are. And they're perfect if you're in the mood for something light, nutritious, and peppery.
