Salad

1 1/2 ounces arugula (about 2 big handfuls)
1/2 heaping cup blackberries
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds Balsamic Vinaigrette

1/2 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried coriander
salt and pepper, to taste

Serve: Enjoy. This is especially delicious alongside Lemon-Garlic Baked Chicken.
