Instructions

Add salad greens, pecans and dried cranberries in a salad bowl.
In a small bowl, add the dressing ingredients, olive oil, golden syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper and whisk until well combined.
Drizzle your desired amount of dressing, crumble the goat cheese on top and serve.

Notes

Prepare all the salad ingredients before making the dressing.
Allow the goat cheese to come to room temperature. This enhances its creaminess and makes it easier to crumble evenly.
Consider toasting the pecans in a dry pan for a few minutes! This adds a nice nutty flavor and crunch to the salad.
You can add chickpeas, tofu, or quinoa to make this a complete meal with protein.
