Crumble the goat cheese into small, bite-sized pieces and sprinkle it over the salad greens and blackberries.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool, then scatter them over the salad.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad for a mild bite and extra crunch.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified and smooth.
