Method
In bowl, mash together goat cheese, cream cheese and lemon rind; refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
Pit dates; stuff each with 2 pistachios.
Chop remaining pistachios and place in shallow bowl; stir in chopped chives. Set aside.
Press rounded tablespoonfuls (15 mL) of the cheese mixture around each date; roll each in pistachio mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Salad: In large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, salt and pepper; add greens and toss to coat. Divide among plates; top each with 2 dates.
