If you are still at a loss for what to make for christmas eve or christmas dinner, this pretty little simple salad is one of my all time favorites.  It takes practically no time at all and is always a huge hit.  It is light and fresh and makes a great start for absolutely any meal.  So, hurry to the market before the rush and grab some arugula, feta, pecans, persimmons and lemons.  You’ll thank me!  Enjoy.
