We're nuts about this beautiful berry and goat cheese salad with toasted almonds. The sweet and salty flavors put the 'wow' in this salad. Toasting the almonds is a cinch! We always toast extra for a ready-to-go energizing snack. Not a fan of goat cheese? Substitute your favorite cheese. Try feta or mozzarella. Just about any cheese goes great in this salad. Adding a lean protein like grilled chicken or salmon will provide you with a well-balanced and satisfying meal.
