Honey Pecan & Goat Cheese Salad image

I once made this salad for my wife and son-who loves goat cheese-while our homemade pizza was baking. One of my dreams is to own a herd of goats and make cheese, but when I talk about it with my wife, the result is major eye rolls! -Greg Fontenot The Woodlands, Texas
