YUM Salad

Oh yum! I just made the easiest salad, but it's so good I have to share it with you.
What should I call it? How about....

YUM Salad (clever, huh?)
Spinach
goat cheese (mine has cranberries in it)
dried cherries
almonds

Dressing:
balsamic vinegar
extra virgin olive oil
garlic
salt
pepper


I didn't measure, because I just kinda threw it together in a container large enough for a side salad. However, the vinegar/oil should be 50/50. So, if you just want to make a salad for yourself 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of vinegar should be enough. The rest of the dressing is to taste. I used one clove of garlic, but that was WAY too much. No kisses for me tonight! lol The goat cheese will kinda soak up the salad and then gets creamy. I love the different textures in this salad. What inspired me was a recipe from Vegetarian Times, and they had orange sections in theirs. I would have thrown in the orange too, or a clementine, but I didn't have time to peel it. I've never put goat cheese in a salad before, and who knew I have been missing so much. This is a GREAT winter time salad!
