I made this salad for my dinner party of 8, doubled the recipe including the dressing. It was delicious and a huge hit. I just sent it to my daughter in California who I know will also love it. I will make it again and again. Thanks for a great recipe! BTW I used a fancy olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

This has become a wonderful go-to light supper for my husband and me - we've been enjoying it as written or subbing crumbled gorgonzola or blue for the goat cheese - all taste great! So glad I stumbled on your blog, Laney, and look forward to trying more of your recipes - thank you!
