• STEP 2.In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• STEP 3.To assemble the salad, divide the dressed greens among serving plates. Top with crumbled goat cheese, pickled red onions, and toasted walnuts. Serve immediately.

Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add some fresh herbs like basil or mint to the salad.
• Toasting the walnuts adds a nice crunch to the salad. Simply place them in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute it with feta or blue cheese.

Storage and Serving

• This salad is best served immediately after assembling to maintain the freshness of the greens.
• If you have leftovers, store the components separately. The pickled onions can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• To serve the leftovers, simply toss the greens with the remaining ingredients just before serving.
