  • Love this. The best salad I've ever eaten in my life is at the chain Milestones up here in Canada, and consists of mixed greens with goat cheese encrusted in poppy seeds, spicy pecans, and fresh strawberries, all served in a raspberry vinaigrette. Heavenly - and I'm usually the type of person to loathe salad, so the fact that I find myself dreaming of these green leafies at night says a lot!
