Arugula and Goat Cheese Salad with Balsamic Citrus Vinaigrette

While most people prepare for Chanukah a few days in advance, we food writers are busy with it from before Rosh HaShanah! When I was in the States a while ago, I was constantly in search of a brand-new salad for my Chanukah menu. My niece, Tiggy A., told me about an awesome salad she ate in a restaurant in Florida. Between the two of us, we managed to recreate this light, elegant salad. The ingredients complement each other in a way that can only be described as an exquisite eating experience. Enjoy!
