- Add all the ingredients for the dressing to a bowl or jar. Whisk (or shake) until all ingredients are mixed together well.
- Add the mixed greens to a large bowl. Add the sliced red onion, dried cranberries, candied nuts and goat cheese to the bowl on top of the greens. If serving immediately, go ahead and toss with dressing. If not, you can store dressing separately so salad keeps fresh longer.
- Toss everything gently together. Divide into four serving bowls or plates. Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper and serve!
- If you wish to make this salad last longer, you can store the dressing separate from the salad. Then just add the dressing whenever you’re ready to eat. Storing separately, the salad will stay fresh for 4-5 days.
