The natural peppery flavor of arugula is anything but bland and is an upgrade for any salad. With the added sweetness of pitted dates, nutty flavor of toasted walnuts and a custom made sherry vinaigrette, all that’s needed to make it complete is a helping of Sargento® Shredded Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese to add just the right amount of zest. Make this salad as a lunch meal for work or at home.
