Notes

For added protein, top with grilled chicken, shrimp, or steak.Try feta or blue cheese as an alternative to goat cheese.For a vegan version, skip the cheese and replace honey with maple syrup or agave.Experiment with other fruits like nectarines, plums, or strawberries for a fun twist.To keep the salad fresh, store components separately and assemble just before serving.
