Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 head red leaf lettuce, torn
3 green onions, chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and chopped
½ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons white sugar
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place the almonds and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a small skillet over medium-low heat, and cook and stir until the sugar melts and the almonds brown, watching carefully to avoid burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • In a large salad bowl, mix the lettuce, green onions, apple, avocado, dried cranberries, blue cheese, and cooked almonds.
