Green Salad with Pistachio-crusted Goat Cheese Balls & Onion Vinaigrette; also chocolate

One of my friends is getting married in a few weeks in his hometown, and threw a potluck picnic today for those of us who can't travel to be there in person. I asked him if he had any particular requests, and he asked for "that salad you made at your birthday party last year, with the vinaigrette?" So this is the salad.

The happy couple are about to leave New York and take up itinerant residence in multiple other countries (it's very exciting being an academic), which means they asked for no gifts, but I couldn't resist, so I bought them some chocolate, which I figure they can snarf on the plane to their wedding destination.
