ARUGULA SALAD WITH GRILLED APRICOTS AND PISTACHIOS



Arugula Salad With Grilled Apricots and Pistachios image

Pungent arugula contrasts beautifully with fruit of all kinds. Grilling the apricots deepens their flavor and makes them stand out against the arugula even more. You'll be able to make this beautiful salad only during the summer's short apricot season, and even then, you should buy the fruits at the farmers' market so you can sample them to make sure they are juicy and sweet.
