Think warm goat cheese salad without the fat, without the goat, and with ALL the flavor. The dill and white balsamic add a beautiful touch to the flavor mélange. Enjoy this salad alongside a bowl of Carrot Ginger Soup (http://cooktj.com/content/carrot-ginger-soup) and warm multigrain bread.

Instructions
