What's for dinner: East Atlanta Village farmer's Market

Sorry I missed you guys yesterday! But don't fear... your what's for dinner post is here! :-)

Most of you are familiar with the East Atlanta Village Farmer's Market that goes on Thursday evenings over on Flat Shoals... well I finally made it out to explore the local goodies, I even got a pretty delicious dinner out of my finds. Check it out....

I love cheese!! I bought the most delish Chile Goat cheese from this vendor

Yum! I bought a big bag of fresh Arugula too...

Last but not least.... here is what I made for dinner with the Arugula and Chile Goat Cheese that I purchased at the market. I added some spinach, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, a few sliced onions (I would have preferred red onions, but I didn't have any at home... use what you have!) and a delicious homemade balsamic vinaigrette (recipe listed below).

Yummy Fall salad!
