Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
Start by washing and preparing all vegetables. Chop the mixed salad greens if needed and place them in a large salad bowl.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into thin circles. Add both to the salad bowl.
Peel and pit the avocado, then dice it into bite-sized chunks. Add the avocado and crumbled feta cheese to the salad bowl.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated with the dressing.
Sprinkle the cooled toasted almonds over the top of the salad for an added crunchy texture.
Serve the Keto Crunchy Almond Salad immediately, ensuring each serving has an even distribution of vegetables, cheese, and almonds.
