Arugula, Cherry, Cucumber and Red Onion Salad

This gorgeous salad is practically an ad for California Summer Cuisine. In the early summer, when cherries just make it to the markets, along with red spring onions and cucumbers, I can’t resist making this wonderful salad with practically every meal! Dress it with a simple vinaigrette for the perfect light touch and enjoy on a hot evening with a glass of sauvignon blanc, or pair it with a protein such as grilled salmon, chicken or steak.
