Tips for making the best Goat Cheese Salad:

Use fresh ingredients and buy local! Grab some greens from your local farmer’s market. Stop by the strawberry stand on the corner and pick up a bucket. The fresher your ingredients, the tastier your salad will be. Plus, buying local means you’re supporting your community and the hard working farmers that live there!
Feel free to add grilled or leftover rotisserie chicken to this meal if you’d like! This recipe is a great blue print to use up ingredients you’ve got left in your fridge! Dried cranberries or white beans would taste great in this salad. Feel free to switch out the walnuts for cashews, almonds or pecans too!
