Five simple ingredients and a few pantry staples come together in just 20 minutes as a lovely side dish, perfect for any occasion. A perfect way to enjoy fresh greens, arugula is the star of this dish, with the colorful addition of grape tomatoes and some tangy goat cheese. These greens make an excellent side dish for a roasted chicken or some grilled salmon. Add them to your favorite hot pasta for vegetarian, one-dish meal. Make this dish with other wilted greens such as Swiss chard, spinach or a chicory for slight flavor variations. Exchange the goat cheese for traditional feta or it's creamier cousin French-feta for another possible variation.
