I tried a sample of a GREAT salsa at work today: pomegranate, pears, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. It was pretty good on the multigrain Tostitos scoop, but it was also great on its own.

I saw someone online used this salsa on an arugula salad with feta which sounds AMAZING, but not quite substantial enough for a meal salad. I'm looking at some ideas of things to add to the salad to make it substantial enough for a meal.

I'm just not sure what would pair well with it. I like to include something crunchy, fruits and veggies, protein, leafy greens, and either cheese or some other flavoring (like bacon) in my meal salads.

So, we have

Arugula (Leafy Greens)
Feta Cheese (Cheese)
Pomegranate Pear Salsa (Fruit/veggies)
Citrus Vinaigrette (Dressing)

What about something salty/crunchy and protein? I thought some crumbled tortilla chips would be a good crunchy add-on. Or some chopped nuts, perhaps. But what about the protein? I just can't seem to picture what would work well. To be perfectly honest, I'm not a grilled chicken breast fan, so I want to try to think outside that box.

Thanks for the advice!
