This recipe, brought to The Times in a 1991 article about the increasing popularity of goat cheese, is simple and full of bright flavors and satisfying textures. Feta, the cheese traditionally used in this classic salad, would be perfectly appropriate (and delicious), but we recommend giving goat cheese a try. The silken texture of the goat cheese contrasts beautifully with the lively crunch of the vegetables.
