Easy Salmon & Goat Cheese Arugula Salad | Low Key Cooking

Salmon & Goat Cheese Arugula Salad

Easy Arugula Salad

Salmon and goat cheese. One of my favorite combinations. Really I would be cool with just the goat cheese, but you can’t wrong with salmon either. I’m not a huge salad person. Being a home chef, I’d rather cook something for real than throw some random veggies together over lettuce and call it a meal. But I have to say, this salad is a winner. It’s light, tangy and loaded with protein and flavor. I can promise this salad becomes one of your favorites after the first bite.
