The presentation on this salad is striking without any of the usual yellow, orange or red. The dressing is very subtle, plus I added more greens, so did not have enough of it. My family did not care for the goat cheese. I thought it was wonderful chunked up in the salad leftovers (which were not at all soggy the next day).
