This was a great dinner salad. I used the arugula and added a few stalks of asparagus. I loved the nectarines! I haven't used them in a salad before, they were the perfect flavor with arugula and blue cheese.

My most important characteristic is this: I am a child of God through the gracious work of Jesus Christ! I love to be with my family and friends. Interests? Writing, reading, cooking, dancing, teaching, splashing in puddles...I am an English teacher, wannabe children's author, and a bit of a health nut...and I can't stand high pitched squeaky noises.
