Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat pastry flour and almond meal with a pinch of sea salt.
Add extra virgin olive oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until crumbly.
Gradually add cold water, a little at a time, mixing with your hands until the dough comes together.
Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Pierce several times with a fork.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven to cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine blanched almonds, honey, egg whites, almond milk, sea salt, and lemon zest. Process until smooth.
Pour the almond mixture into the pre-baked tart crust, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle sliced almonds on top for garnish.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, carefully remove the tart from the pan, slice, and serve.
