Fresh, new and light.
The recipe sounded so good I had to try it but used what I had on hand. I used mixed greens and romaine lettuce.  I didn't have hazelnuts so I used walnuts and I always have Feta cheese on hand and it was great!
Pros: Easy to adapt

This is excellent!  The only change I made was using pistachio nuts instead of hazelnuts.  The goat cheese is the ticket in this recipe.
