On to the salad! Buy arugula and goat cheese of your choosing.  I suggest using walnuts but I didn't have any of those, so I used whatever nuts I had on hand, still fantastic with almonds and cashews.

Throw the nuts, fruit, and cheese onto the arugula. My roomie thought some nectarines would be good.  Why not?  You can add whatever fruit you'd like, have fun with it.
