1
Prepare the Bibb Lettuce
Carefully wash the Bibb lettuce under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
2
Prepare the Pickled Red Onion
If using store-bought pickled red onion, measure out 1 cup and set aside. If making your own, slice a red onion thinly, place it in a jar, and cover with vinegar and water. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.
3
Prepare the Heirloom Tomato
Wash the heirloom tomatoes under cold water and pat dry. Cut the tomatoes into wedges or slices, depending on your preference, and set aside.
4
Prepare the Goat Cheese
Using your fingers or a fork, crumble the goat cheese into small pieces. Set aside for topping the salad.

5
Combine Salad Ingredients
In the bowl with the torn Bibb lettuce, add the prepared pickled red onion, sliced heirloom tomatoes, and crumbled goat cheese.
6
Toss the Salad
Gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly mixed. Be careful not to bruise the lettuce.
7
Serve
Divide the salad into individual serving bowls or plates. Serve immediately, optionally drizzling with olive oil or balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.
