From The South Beach Diet Quick and Easy cookbook: "Ever since goat cheese became a common cooking ingredient, it seems to show up everywhere. Here, we mix it with freshly toasted walnuts, crisp fruity pear, and fresh leafy greens; the slightly smoky taste of the walnuts in this simple salad is a nice contrast to the creamy and delicious goat cheese."
