I'm allergic to goat cheese. What can I use instead?

This salad looks delicious, but I don't have any wheat berries. Can I substitute another grain?

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad was bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used a different type of goat cheese than the recipe called for, but it still turned out great.

I'm not a huge fan of wheat berries, but this salad was really good. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the goat cheese added a nice richness.

This salad was amazing! I made it for a potluck and it was a huge hit. The wheat berries were cooked perfectly and the goat cheese added a nice tanginess. I will definitely be making this again.
