Ingredients

• 6 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup Cucumber, sliced
• 1 large Avocado, diced
• 4 oz Goat cheese
• 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the salad ingredients. Place the mixed salad greens in a large serving bowl.

Step 2

Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and diced avocado to the bowl with the greens.

Step 3

Break the goat cheese into small chunks or crumbles and sprinkle them over the salad.

Step 4

Toast the chopped walnuts in a small pan over medium heat until they are fragrant and golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Once toasted, set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

For the honey balsamic vinaigrette, in a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard.

Step 6

Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the vinaigrette and whisk until well combined.

Step 8

Drizzle the honey balsamic vinaigrette over the salad right before serving and gently toss to ensure all ingredients are well coated.

Step 9

Top the salad with the toasted walnuts and serve immediately.
