Chicken, Cheese, and Arugula Salad

Here we are at week 4 if the CSA. We are patiently awaiting the arrival of tomatoes... The plants look great - bright green, healthy, flowering - we should be enjoying the most anticipated of summer fruits soon!
Because of such a wait, (we are also waiting on a few other goodies to be ready for harvest) this weeks share is a bit light and very green!

Here is this week's recipe with the feature veggie, arugula.
I switched out some ingredients to make it a bit more local + seasonal, enjoy!
