Salad greens for 4 salads
-
Green Salad Vinaigrette (see recipe below)

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Cut each goat cheese round horizontally into 2 or 3 half-inch slices. Place bread on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and place a slice of goat cheese on each piece. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until bread is toasted and cheese is warm.

From the Test Kitchen
- Note Egg Swap:If you are concerned about the safety of using a raw egg yolk, use 2 tablespoons refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, in place of the yolk. The yolk can be omitted altogether, but the dressing will be less rich and creamy.

The vinaigrette is what makes this. It's salty (I wouldn't reduce it much if at all though) but excellent. I agree with the previous reviewer completely. I will use this vinaigrette recipe alot.
