I love this salad. But I think Arugula & Pea salad is a misnomer, it should be Swiss Chard & Pea salad. I have never had swiss chard raw ~ it's yummy!! I wish there was more arugula in this. The peas are spot on perfect. I couldn't make the dressing because I didn't have the strawberries. Perhaps add them to the ingredient list. I used a pear vinegar that I had in the cupboard. A really nice salad, and a nice change of pace. I will make this up at camp in the summer! Made for 'Greens for Spring' tag in the Diabetic Forum 5/12.
