Juicy grapefruit and ruby red strawberries add delightful color and a wonderful flavor combination to this refreshing salad. The tangy citrus dressing adds the ideal finishing touch. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
1/3 cup canola oil |
3 tablespoons honey, divided |
dash ground cinnamon |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 package (10 ounces) mixed salad greens |
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced |
1 medium grapefruit or orange, peeled and sectioned |
Directions:
1. In a small skillet over medium heat, cook almonds in 2 teaspoons oil until lightly browned, stirring constantly. Add 1 tablespoon honey and cinnamon; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes longer or until almonds are glazed and golden brown. Spoon almonds onto a greased foil-lined baking sheet, separating almonds into a single layer as much as possible. Set aside to cool.
2. In a food processor, combine the lemon juice, peel, mustard, salt and remaining honey. Cover and pulse until well blended. While processing, gradually add remaining oil in a steady stream. Process until thickened.
3. In a large serving bowl, combine mixed greens, strawberries and citrus sections. Just before serving, drizzle with dressing; toss to coat. Sprinkle with glazed almonds. Yield: 6 servings.
