Step 1
Make the dressing: whisk Dijon, minced shallot, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until combined.
Step 2
Toast bread slices in a skillet over medium-high heat, 90 seconds per side, until light golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Place a round of goat cheese on each bread slice, then return to the skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Cook 2–3 minutes until the cheese starts to soften and the bottom of the bread colors slightly. Don't move the toast.
Step 5
Toss greens with dressing and divide between two plates or bowls. Top each with a warm goat cheese toast.
Step 6
Scatter nuts over the salad. Squeeze remaining lemon wedge over everything. Serve immediately.
