Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 bunch Asparagus
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Red onion
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
Spread the asparagus evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned. Once roasted, let them cool slightly and cut into 2-inch pieces.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.
Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, roasted asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices.
Crumble the goat cheese over the salad and sprinkle the toasted almonds on top.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss everything together until well coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
