Serves 4

Use seasonal berries for this refreshing salad, matching tangy goat cheese with sweet berries, roasted red onions, walnuts and tomatoes.

Ingredients

Salad
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon canola oil
8 cups (about 12 ounces) spring lettuce mix
1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
1/2 cup yellow grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup mixed seasonal berries, such as strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons raspberry or sherry vinegar
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup canola oil

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss onion with canola oil and a pinch of salt and pepper, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until onion is soft and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

For the vinaigrette, whisk together raspberry vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper. Drizzle in the oil while continuing to whisk, until vinaigrette slightly thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Toss spring mix, walnuts, tomatoes, berries, goat cheese and roasted onions with vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
