Steps:

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh goat cheese and ripe dates.
- If you can't find fresh goat cheese, you can use crumbled feta cheese instead.
- To make the dates easier to stuff, soak them in warm water for a few minutes before using.
- If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner cut off.
- Be careful not to overstuff the dates, or they will burst.
- If you are making the salad ahead of time, wait to add the dressing until just before serving.
