Denise Salad Number One
Description
Spicy arugula is tossed with succulent mandarin orange segments, tangy goat's cheese, crunchy sunflower seeds and sweet yellow bell peppers in this elegant and flavorful salad. You can substitute blue cheese for the goat's cheese, if you wish. I usually like to top this with a simple vinaigrette of fresh basil, apple cider vinegar and olive oil.
