I am so happy to have found this recipe. With one family member who hates vinegar, and one who hates dairy-based dressings, it has been so hard to find lettuce-based salads that everyone will eat. This one is a winner! With a lemon juice & olive oil dressing, plus fresh herbs and tangy goat cheese, everyone in my family loves it. It’s easy to make, too!

This is soooo yummy!  My husband is not a goat cheese fan, so instead of serving this as a side dish with dinner, I made it for work all week for myself…and loved every second of eating it!  So easy and so delicious.  Thanks for such a yummy salad recipe, Tiffani!
