Mixed Baby Greens with Shallots, Berries, Walnuts, and Raspberry-Walnut Vinaigrette with Baked Goat Cheese

I had my book club over for lunch and made this salad.  It’s a great group of women and we always have a lot of fun and even if the book wasn’t good, the conversation is great. The fresh strawberries,raspberries, and blueberries were delicious, and I used walnut oil to make the raspberry vinaigrette, but you could use olive oil.  You can cut the goat cheese rounds earlier in the day and keep them refrigerated.  Right before you bake them, dip the cheese in a beaten egg, and then coat with Panko bread crumbs, bake, and place on salad before you serve it.  The salad is also good without the goat cheese.  Trader Joe’s has a great salad mix that has fresh herbs in it that I like to use in this salad.
