Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
- 0.5 cups Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cups Crumbled goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Place a small skillet over medium heat and add the sliced almonds. Toast them gently for 4-5 minutes while stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once the almonds are golden brown, remove them from the heat and set them aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the honey vinaigrette. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, toasted almonds, dried cranberries, and crumbled goat cheese.
Drizzle the honey vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to ensure the greens are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sweet Salad Greens with Almonds!
