Crispy Lettuce and Almond Salad
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 head red leaf lettuce, torn
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
1
Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat and add the almonds along with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
2
The mixture will start to melt and turn golden brown as you stir constantly, taking care not to let it burn.
3
Once the almonds have reached your desired level of browning, remove them from the heat and let them cool down.
4
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, chopped green onions, sliced apple, diced avocado, dried cranberries, crumbled blue cheese, and toasted almonds.
5
To create the dressing, whisk together the vinegar, 2 teaspoons of sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
6
Add a few drops of vegetable oil to the mixture and stir until well combined.
7
Pour the dressing over the salad, gently tossing all the ingredients together to create a harmonious blend.
