Steps:
- In a large bowl, layer greens with avocado, cranberries and scatter almonds throughout. Top with alfalfa sprouts. Sprinkle lightly with hemp seeds & chia seeds. Serve with Sweet White Balsamic Vinaigrette.
- Combine all ingredients in a pint sized glass jar and shake well to combine. Serve with salad.
- *Rather than make the typical candied almonds with white sugar (I'm trying to eliminate white sugar in my cooking and baking) I decided to make "Honey Glazed Almond Slices". Super simple - same method as the candied almonds only with honey instead.
- In a small saucepan, heat the honey over high heat. Stir until liquified; bring to a boil. Add the almonds and reduce the heat to medium. Stir frequently until the honey crystallizes around the almonds (approx. 5-8 minutes). Transfer to parchment paper and spread in a thin layer to cool completely. Best if made a day ahead to be completely hardened.

The cranberries add that perfect sweet-tart flavor to this dressing. You can substitute dried cherries or raspberries for the cranberries.
