1. Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small blender or food processor, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup fresh raspberries, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
2. Toast the almonds: Place the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for 3–5 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Assemble the salad: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed baby greens. Gently scatter the fresh raspberries, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted almonds over the greens.
4. Dress the salad: Drizzle the prepared raspberry vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. Gently toss the salad to combine.
5. Serve immediately: Divide the salad among plates and serve as a refreshing appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
