Mixed Green Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette
Ingredients
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cranberries
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound mixed salad greens
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Take a single layer of almonds and place them in a row on a baking sheet. Subject the nuts to heat in the preheated oven until they start to develop a golden brown color, approximately 5 minutes.
3
In a blender or food processor, combine the oil, cranberries, vinegar, water, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend the ingredients until they form a smooth consistency.
4
Take a large bowl and combine the mixed greens, toasted almonds, onion, and blue cheese. Add the blended vinaigrette to the bowl and mix until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
