arugula, artichoke, radish and goat cheese with a light refreshing dressing
Salad season is here for me. Summer is in the air and the garden is starting to produce a bounty of fresh vegetables. This salad utilizes the first fruits of the garden – arugula and radishes. The peppery flavors they bring are accented with the more mellow artichoke and the creaminess of goat cheese. Topped off with a light sweet honey balsamic dressing, this salad is a refreshing side to any meal.
