1 cup blanched slivered almonds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces

Steps:

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the almonds in the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently until lightly browned. When the almonds are beginning to turn, add sesame seeds, and cook 1 more minute, or until seeds are toasted.
