Perfect for a light lunch or a simple side with dinner, this salad features delightful contrasts in shape and texture. The peppery, slightly bitter flavour of the arugula offsets the crunchy, sweet flavour of the carrots. As well, the creaminess of the goat cheese is a nice counterpoint to the crunch of the sliced almonds. These flavours are enhanced beautifully by dressing the salad with my sweet and tangy Orange Ginger Vinaigrette.
