  1. Slice or shave the cheese into long, thin strips and lay 3 or 4 slices on top of approximately 1-cup of stacked arugula greens.
  2. Prepare the vinaigrette in a medium saucepan over high heat and reduce the pomegranate juice until ½ cup remains, about 10 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the reduced pomegranate juice, Dijon mustard, sugar, and salt. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Just before serving, drizzle on top of the salads.
