Devin Says: This salad has a lot more fat than most of my side-dishes. However, most of the fat comes from olive oil which is a heart-healthy fat. Just be sure not to overdo it on the dressing or portion size on this one.

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium re-sealable plastic container, whisk together the vinegar, yogurt, honey and mustard. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Dressing can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in a re-sealable plastic container in the refrigerator. Makes about 5 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons.
Prepare the dressing.
To a large serving bowl, add the lettuce and 1/2-ounce of the goat cheese. Add the dressing and toss the salad. Transfer it to a serving platter or divide it evenly among 3 salad plates. Top with the remaining goat cheese.
