I was searching for a very *simple* arugula salad to accompany<br/>tomato soup for dinner and found this recipe. The mistake I made<br/>was making and consequently adding too much dressing to the salad.<br/>Both arugula and mint are strongly flavored and for this particular salad would<br/>require a [light] drizzle of dressing. My fault! Delicious considering the goof. Fresh mint from the garden and a small pinch of fennel pollen replaced fennel seed. Thank you!

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
