Vibrant Green Salad with Roasted Vegetables

This vibrant green salad is packed with roasted vegetables, creamy avocado, crunchy walnuts, and tangy goat cheese. Drizzled with a simple balsamic vinaigrette, it's a light and refreshing meal that's perfect for any occasion.

The inspiration for this salad came to me on a hot summer day when I was craving something light and refreshing. I had some leftover roasted vegetables in the fridge, and I thought they would be a great addition to a salad. I added some mixed greens, avocado, walnuts, and goat cheese, and drizzled it all with a simple balsamic vinaigrette. The result was a salad that was both satisfying and refreshing.
