Use your favorite salad greens for this tasty first course. We liked the spiciness of arugula with the tomato and goat cheese, but any other greens will work.

Excellent salad! The combination of ingredients for the dressing seemed a little strange, but the flavors work GREAT! Will definitely keep making this salad!

I made it for a family event and it was a winner! The best part was making it, the smell of the tomatoes with the dressing was mouth watering. Definitely is one of my favorite salads.

The tomato juice in the dressing seemed weird, so I was skeptical that this salad would be 5-stars, but it is. I have made it about 5 times in the last 2 weeks, with both cherry tomatoes and roma tomato chopped, and it is definitely better with cherry, but still good with roma. The goat cheese is the star of this salad, so don't skip it. I have also added radishes I had on hand, and they went well.
