Summer Arugula Salad

Oh wow, so it's been more than a month! So sorry for the unexpected hiatus, but I guess summer got to me. Well, I just moved into Tulane and after a full week of driving down south savoring lots of barbecue and of course the local New Orleans fare, I must say MAN DO I MISS MY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES! So here's a recipe for the first meal I made in my new home in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's a salad with a little bit of sweet, a little bit of savory, and a little bit of bitter. This dish is perfectly designed to balance out the muggy weather and the unbelievable amount of fried food I've been eating of late.
