From peppery arugula to sweet pomegranate arils, this salad has the perfect balance of flavors.

If using a fresh pomegranate, slice it into wedges and submerge in a large bowl of water.

Then, gently pry the arils off with your fingers.

Place sweet potato slices on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.

Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil until the vinaigrette comes together.

Arrange arugula on a serving platter.

Top with the sweet potatoes and sprinkle with walnuts, pomegranate arils and goat cheese (if using).

Drizzle with the vinaigrette.
