One of my summer favorites. I wouldn't change a thing.

Hubby doesn't really like arugula so we settled on a mixed greens that contained some arugula. The only other change I made was a sprinkling of crumbled feta on top just before serving. Quick and easy to put together on a busy weeknight and light and refreshing for a summer dinner. Will make again. Would also serve to guests. Very pretty on the plate.
