Рецепт Arugula and Goat Cheese Quesadillas with Strawberry Mango Salsa

by Anne

Cinco De Mayo was almost a week ago, but I think Mexican style food is good any day of the year! I had some arugula and was inspired (possibly by Cinco De Mayo?) to make some quesadillas for lunch. The strawberry and mango salsa added just the right amount of sweetness to offset the slightly bitterness of arugula, another satisfying and did I mention fresh and healthy lunch.
