This salad is great in the fall (apple-picking season!). The toasted almonds on top really make the dish -- their smoky flavor adds an almost bacon-like taste to this veggie salad!
Ingredients
- 1 bag baby spinach shopping list
- 1 small head green-leaf lettuce shopping list
- 2 carrots, chopped shopping list
- 1-2 apples, cored and thinly sliced shopping list
- big handful of blanched sliced almonds shopping list
- 1/4 cup minced onion shopping list
- 3 Tbsp. cider vinegar shopping list
- 3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar shopping list
- 3 Tbsp. sugar shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. paprika shopping list
- 1-2 drops of sesame oil (don't overdo it!) shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- 1/4 cup olive oil shopping list
How to make it
- Immediately toss apple slices with a little citrus juice (I like OJ) or vinegar to prevent browning.
- Spread almond slices on a baking sheet and toast them under the broiler or in your toaster oven. They should be well-browned (maybe even with a few burnt ones) to bring out a smoky flavor. Takes around 1-5 minutes depending on your oven -- keep an eye on them.
- Make the dressing: Whisk together sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and onion, then drizzle in olive oil while whisking to combine.
- Add salad greens, carrots, and apples to a serving bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss.
- Top salad with toasty almond slices and serve.
