1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

Combine all the salad ingredients into one large, or four separate, bowls.

Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard and seasonings in a small bowl.

Gradually add the oil in a slow, steady stream to form a thick dressing.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.

Serves 4.

Note - toasting the almonds adds crunch to the salad and intensifies the flavour of the nuts.

To toast the almonds in the oven, spread the nuts in a single layer on a shallow baking dish (or cookie sheet).

Bake at 350° for about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
