In a pan in hot corn oil, deep-fry the wonton skins, one at a time until

In a bowl, thoroughly mix the goat cheese, cream cheese, sour cream,
chives, parsley, thyme, garlic, and shallots. Season to taste with the
freshly ground pepper. Set aside. TO PREPARE THE DRESSING: In an electric
blender, place the mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and vinegar. With blender
running, slowly add the olive oil in a thin, steady stream until mixture is
thickened to dressing consistency. Set aside. TO PREPARE THE LETTUCE:
Separate the lettuce leaves; then tear each leaf into bite-size pieces. In
a large bowl, toss the lettuce and dressing, using just enough of dressing
to evenly coat all the pieces. Set aside. TO ASSEMBLE THE EACH SALAD:
Spread over one side of each deep-fried wonton skin some of the goat cheese
mixture. On 4 plates, place a wonton, cheese- side up. Stack some of the
lettuce pieces on the wonton. Top with a second wonton, cheese-side down.
Some of the lettuce will spread out onto the plate. Garnish each salad with
heart of palm slices and cherry/yellow teardrop tomato halves drizzled with
the remaining salad dressing. Makes 4 salads.
