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
  • 1 small head green-leaf lettuce
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1-2 apples, cored and thinly sliced
  • big handful of blanched sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 3 Tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 1-2 drops of sesame oil (don't overdo it!)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Directions
  1. Immediately toss apple slices with a little citrus juice (I like OJ) or vinegar to prevent browning.
  2. 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.
  3. Make the dressing: Whisk together sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and onion, then drizzle in olive oil while whisking to combine.
  4. Add salad greens, carrots, and apples to a serving bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss.
  5. Top salad with toasty almond slices and serve.
