Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients
- 1 cup Silvered Almonds
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1/4 cup Rasberry Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 pint Sliced Strawberries
Cooking Directions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the almonds, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted. The almonds can burn very easily, so keep a close eye on them! Remove from heat, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, prepare the light dressing by whisking together the garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, raspberry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil.
- Whisk until everything is mixed together well.
- Add a bit more balsamic if you like your dressings tart, or a bit more honey and brown sugar if you prefer them on the sweeter side.
- In another large bowl, throw together the warm almonds you just toasted, chopped romaine lettuce, sliced strawberries, and feta cheese. Lastly, coat the salad with the dressing mixture, and toss.
- Serve your salad immediately, or cover it and throw it in the fridge for later!
