1 cup halved grape tomatoes
1 cup sliced cucumbers
1/2 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms
1/4 cup sliced scallions

1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup of pine nuts
In a large salad bowl, gently toss arugula, tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, sliced mushrooms, scallions and julienned basil.
Sprinkle salad with feta and pine nuts.
