Rinse and dry the mesclun greens thoroughly using a salad spinner or clean kitchen towel.

Halve the cherry tomatoes. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and the red onion into thin slivers.

In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for 2-3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 6

Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese and toasted walnuts over the top of the salad.
