I decided to make this salad to use the left-over arugula in my fridge. I have been using arugula a lot in my recipes lately. I like its peppery taste as well as its health and nutritional benefits. I paired it up with some cherry tomatoes from my garden, dressed it up with my favorite balsamic dressing and topped it with the aromatic asiago cheese. This salad is simple, healthy and satisfying. Enjoy!
