Avocado/tangerine salad

Simple as can be.

Chop:
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 tangerines
  • A decent amount of goat cheese
  • Two handfuls of almonds
Combine that with spinach.  Dress with:
  • Sesame oil
  • White wine vinegar (rice wine vinegar would work here too)
  • Ground ginger
  • Garlic powder
And that's it.  The flavors blend extremely well what with the sweet from the tangerines and almonds, the sour goat cheese, and the various spices (plus whatever it is that avocado has).  The textures work well varying from the crunchy almonds down to the almost melty cheese and avocado.

In a large enough batch this could be a meal.

Mustard green salad

Mustard greens are tasty, and when they're in season they're quite cheap.  So check around.

This seemed to work out well:
  • Mustard greens
  • One sliced red pepper
  • One sliced cucumber; don't bother scooping seeds or anything but do peel it
  • Bunch of chopped walnuts
  • Goat cheese
  • White balsamic vinegar
Quite tasty.  The flavors all compliment one another.

If you're somehow goat cheese-impaired (not that I have anyone in mind), a mix of blue and feta might do you, but it won't be as good.
