Recipe Background

If you like goat cheese, you will love this recipe for everyday side salad. This is my personal favorite side salad, and I make it often. If you've been to my house, most likely you have had it as well. It not only makes a super easy dinner side salad, but I often make a plate of it for lunch. The greens you use with this salad will make a difference in the taste. I prefer the organic field greens with herbs that come pre-washed and packaged in a plastic container in the produce section of the grocery store. As with any salad, make sure your olive oil is fresh. I recommend buying the smallest bottle of olive oil to help ensure your oil is fresh and not rancid.
