Mixed Greens and Herb Salad with Goat Cheese

When the temperatures are soaring, such has been the case this summer here in southwestern Ontario, nourishment that requires little fuss or cooking is usually on the menu. And although this light green salad would be a fine accompaniment to a meal anytime of the year, plenty of fresh herbs makes this an especially refreshing one in the summer. Lightly toasted walnuts and tangy soft and creamy goat cheese add substance to this salad, making it surprisingly filling. But the dressing is what really makes this salad rather unique, with a bit of heat from the addition of cumin and hot chilies and the refreshing zestiness of fresh ginger. The fresh herbs are essential here, for more vibrancy of taste and flavor. Feel free to use other cheeses...
