Arugula, fennel and apricot salad



The current (June) issue of Bon Appetit included this marvelous recipe that uses several adored ingredients.
Arugula is available now at many farmers' markets -- it's a cooler-weather green. You can still find fresh fennel, even though its peak season is earlier in the year.
And fresh apricots are just starting to get good.

Yum!
