Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds and add to the salad.
Step 4
Crumble the goat cheese into bite-sized pieces and add to the salad.
Step 5
Roughly chop the almonds and slice the red onion thinly, then add both to the salad mixture.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 7
Pour the honey balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
