My Favourite Salad

You'll notice I refer to this on occasion, so here it is for ya!

What you need:

Spinach, spring mix, or the 50/50 mix salad
Goat cheese (I use herbed, but it's great with pretty much any of them)
Candied pecans
Balsamic vinaigrette

Pile all together in a bowl. Ha!  Seriously though... a little of this salad goes a long way.  I use probably 1 C or less of the salad (you can also use green leaf lettuce, but it's not as tasty).  Crumble up the goat cheese in a bowl first so that it's easier to sprinkle over the top.  It's very flavourful cheese so be careful how much you put on! I love cheese so I use a lot, but not everyone is such a fan of the tangy flavour.  I like to break up the pecans into smaller pieces so that they cover everything and you don't use as much.  For balsamic, I mostly buy the Litehouse Balsamic that you can usually find in the refrigerated case, but I love to make my own as well... or use your favourite :-)  Measurements all depend on how much you want and like, so it's up to you!
