The best fucking salad on the planet

My current obsession is goat cheese, and my forever obsession is saving money.

With those two forces in play, I picked up a Garlic & Herb goat cheese from Aldi and a few other ingredients (mostly from Aldi, as it's my grocery of choice) to make, what I came to understand as "the best fucking salad on the planet"

The salad is vegetarian, not vegan, and since the goat cheese is the centerpiece of the dish, I'd have a hard time making it vegan.

It has walnuts, so avoid it if you are allergic.

This, as all of my cooking, was completely off the cuff & will likely change over time. Pear + vinaigrette = fundamental win, so that's not going away ever.

What

1. Handful of spinach, chopped
2. Handful of Napa cabbage, chopped (courtesy of Pacific Rim)
3. Radish, chopped matchstick size
4. White onion, chopped. I like fairly long thin chunks in my salad for texture. I blame society.
5. Garbanzo beans, drained (duh) handful
6. Half Bartlett pear, cubed
7.  Chopped Walnuts, handful
8. Flavored croutons, handful
9. 2 Roma tomatoes, thick cubes. 
10. Chunky salt
11. Garlic & herb goat cheese, 1oz. Chunk it up. Use more if you're feeling dangerous.
12. Greek vinaigrette dressing

How

1. Put the stuff together in order of ingredients, above
2. Make sure to salt your tomatoes. They will thank you.
3. Admire the bright red tomatoes. Damn, don't they look good?
