Instructions
Need a great topping for the salad, make these Italian Herb Biscuits to serve on the side, or to chop up into croutons.
Make the vinaigrette by mixing together lemon juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, shallots and salt in a small Mason jar or bowl. Set in the fridge to chill until ready to serve.
Mix all of the greens above together in a large salad or serving bowl.
Top with chopped walnuts, chicken and roasted tomatoes.
Toss with about 3/4 of the vinaigrette that you had prepared earlier. Top with seasoning and crumbled goat cheese and gently toss.
Add remaining dressing, by lightly drizzling it over the salad and goat cheese.
Serve immediately or set in the fridge until ready to serve, up to 1 hour before.
