How many calories are in Melon and Goat Cheese Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 140 calories, with 4 g protein, 14 g carbohydrate and 8 g fat, plus 2 g fiber and 210 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I freeze Melon and Goat Cheese Salad?

It is not a good candidate. Dressed, it is best the day it is made, so keep the dressing apart and toss Melon and Goat Cheese Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. It does not freeze.
