Salad recipe including goji berries?

can anyone give me ideas on a wheat-free, dairy-free salad that has goji berries? any ideas of what lettuce, dressing, ingredients, etc. would go good with them. i have never had them so i dont know what they would taste like but i have to eat them and in a salad formSalad recipe including goji berries?
I eat a handful every day, and here is a tip, if you have an Asian store that sell a wide selection of foods, buy them there, also known as wolfberries, as they are dried and sweet like a cranberry, used them as you would croutons, even make the dressing with them, heat some orange or apple juice and let them steep, then make the dressing with a hand blender or stand one.





I make a spinach salad with canned mandarin oranges, red onion, walnuts, mushrooms and the dressing, I like to use nut oils like walnut or hazelnut but canola or grape seed is nice, just add it in a stream to the blender when pureeing the goji berries and the juice you soften them in, you can use vinegar, but I find the dressing is mellower with fruit juices, any will do.





With a lettuce salad you may want to use them as a topping, and make a light vinaigrette.
