Warm Goat Cheese and Sun-Dried Tomato Salad image

This salad is hea-ven-ly! I make a few salads with goat cheese (what a yummy treat!), but this one, in which the goat cheese is warmed, is scrumptious beyond words. Very impressive, too! The vinagrette dressing is is a great one to use on other salads, as well. This comes from Linda McCartney's vegetarian cookbook and I often serve it with a grourmet soup and warm bread for a lovely, complete meal.
