The salad was too oily for my taste.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden.

The balsamic vinegar really makes this salad special. It adds a nice tanginess that balances out the sweetness of the tomatoes and the creaminess of the goat cheese.
