SPICED ALMOND, GRAPE AND MIXED GREEN SALAD

Spiced Almond, Grape and Mixed Green Salad image

"This is a bite of springtime. The spiced almonds create a great texture against the juicy grapes and the grassy parsley. Use whatever combination of greens you like best here. I am partial to some arugula, romaine and spinach. You can make the dressing and gather all of these ingredients ahead of time and then just toss the salad just before you're ready to serve it." -Alex Guarnaschelli
