Roasted Balsamic Tomato and Goat Cheese Ball Salad

So up until last night we were still nursing our delicious quiche.  Unfortunately its gone now, but not to worry I have a delicious meal up my sleeve for tomorrow night, or I think anyway only time will tell.

So I'm going to focus on our side dish! It was delicious. The tomatoes were caramelized, so they have a sweet flavor.  Then you add a goat cheese balls which has a tangy slightly sour taste.  Its a perfect combination!
