Mixed Greens with Walnut and Roasted Onion Dressing image

The best part of this salad is the dressing. Its great on any salad and I prefer using big yellow onions that are strong in flavor. Add a bit of goat cheese for extra flavor.

I would have liked the dressing to be a bit more tangy. I added a splash of lemon juice and it was perfect.
