Preparation

Cut each goat cheese log crosswise into 6 rounds. Place nuts in a shallow bowl. Press cheese rounds into nuts, turning to coat. Arrange cheese rounds on plate; reserve any remaining nuts. Cover cheese and chill. Place greens in large salad bowl or divide among serving plates. Arrange avocado wedges atop greens. Whisk 1 tablespoon oil with the balsamic vinegar in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add cheese rounds; sauté until just warmed through but still holding shape, about 1 minute per side. Arrange cheese rounds on top of salad. Drizzle dressing over; sprinkle with reserved macadamia nuts and serve.
