Strawberry and Almond Baby Green Salad Directions
- Toast the sliced almonds in a 350° oven on a cookie sheet, making sure the almonds are evenly spread out to maximize toasting.
- Toast for 10 minutes. If not done to desired brown, keep checking every 3 minutes until almonds reach desired color.
- Wash the baby greens careful, allowing them to drain well, or blot them with a paper towel so no water remains.
- Place on a salad plate, the salad greens.
- Sprinkle the strawberries and almonds.
- Place orange slice that has been halved (Leave the rind on!) on the side to garnish salad.
- Top salad with poppy seed dressing.
- For the dressing: Put sugar, vinegar, salt, onion, mustard in a blender and blend for 20 seconds. With the blender on high add the oil slowly in a steady, slow stream until well combined. Stop blender and add poppy seeds, pulsing slowly until combined, but not pulverized.
