Arugula and Peach Salad

I never was a fan of arugula rather bitter taste, but lately I have weird cravings for it, so I had to get inventive.

As it appears peach does a great job helping balancing arugula in this salad. So if you are like me: trying to get arugula in your diet while not actually liking the taste, this salad is for you.

Parmesan and pine nuts are great addition too.

Ingredients:

4 cups of baby arugula
1 big ripe peach
2 baby cucumbers
1.5 tbsp of raw pine nuts
2 tbsp of shaved parmesan
1 tbsp of soy sauce
1.5 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
0.75 tbsp of olive oil
