Recipe: Green Salad with Strawberries and Goat Cheese

Here we are again with yet another way to get your greens.  I know I've made this dish before, but apparently I haven't posted it.  It's an incredibly simple recipe, and very healthy for you to boot.  The greens provide fiber.  The strawberries offer fiber and all sorts of anti-oxidants.  The goat cheese provides calcium and some other kinds of good stuff - I'm not a nutritionist.  The "dressing" consists entirely of vinegar, reducing the amount of fat.  Finally, and most importantly, it tastes good.  If eating healthy becomes an ordeal, you're much less likely to stick with it.  Even your healthy dishes should have a good flavor to them.  Just my two cents...

Green Salad with Strawberries and Goat Cheese (serves 4; approx. $1.18/serving)

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

• No special equipment is required for this recipe.

Darius - Thanks! Personally I'm always a big fan of goat cheese, but I know not everyone is.

This is a favorite, simple salad. The sweet berries and salty cheese go well.
