Wait to add the dressing until you serve it, as the salad will become soggy if it's mixed in the dressing too early.
Toast the walnuts if you’re looking for some extra flavor. You can toast walnuts by using your oven or toaster oven.
Reserve some goat cheese for garnishing the salad because once you mix the salad, the goat cheese will start to lose its crumbly texture and dissolve. The salad will still taste amazing, but if you top it with some reserved goat cheese, it will look prettier and make your bite more exciting!
