My mom is more of a “visionary” when it comes to gardens, which explains why, when I took over the garden beds, they were completely covered with arugula, anything else being choked out years before. In the fall, after the first rains, the first baby leaves of arugula start making an appearance. The apples are ripening and the walnuts falling from the trees around the same time, so it just makes sense to pull them all together in a salad! This is a simple fall salad. The creaminess of the goat cheese pairs beautifully with the peppery arugula, chicken, apples, and walnuts. For more information on apple varieties, check out our Guide to Apples.
