Arugula Pomegranate Salad

I’d actually never had arugula (aka rocket) until recently. Most grocery stores around here don’t carry it, but I happened upon a bunch at a local food co-op and knew I had to try a simple, fruity salad to complement its strong green flavor. You can use dried cranberries instead of pomegranate seeds if you prefer!
