I forgot to add this to the post below, and then it didn't really fit in with my freak out about my son's new Evel Knieval status, so I decided to post it separately.
I'm not a big salad-making person, mostly because they just don't feel substantial enough for dinner even though they're often delicious. But I made up this salad, and I'm addicted - I've made it 3 times in the last month! Here's my (seriously) informal recipe:
honey-basted chicken salad
chicken: cut the breasts in a couple long strips; sprinkle salt, pepper and thyme on both sides. Then I made a baste from melted butter and honey, and basted it and cooked (in my toaster oven) at 330 for 30 minutes, basting a couple of times.
I cooked a little pasta and caramelized some onions, and I let both of those cool. Then I mixed them with some goat cheese and a bag of butter lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, mushrooms and tomatoes. Topped with the chicken.
Phenomenal. All I can say.

Oooo, I was with ya until goat cheese made an appearance. I wonder if you could throw in a different kind of cheese without upsetting the blend too much.
I'm sure you could. I adore goat cheese, but I think any soft cheese would work, especially one that's not too strong - yay on a lighter blue cheese, nay on a Gorgonzola.
