Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup blanched silvered almonds
- kosher salt
- 2 medium oranges, such as navel, blood oranges, cara cara
- 6-8 cups mixed baby greens
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/4-1/3 cup raspberry salad dressing
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a small non-stick pan until shimmery. Add the almonds and fry on medium-low heat, stirring as needed, until the almonds are golden brown. 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a towel lined plate and sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Slice the ends off of the each of the oranges, then slice off all the peel until only the orange flesh is left. Then take a paring knife and cut down along each of the membranes, freeing the orange slices.
- Fill a serving bowl with mixed greens. Top with onions, raspberries, almonds, and oranges.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of raspberry dressing over and toss to combine. Then top with goat cheese crumbles and drizzle 2-3 more tablespoons of dressing on the salad. Serve.
Notes
- Red Onion: To mellow the bite of the raw onion, soak the slices in cold water for 10-15 minutes.
- Raspberry Dressing: I use my raspberry balsamic vinaigrette in the salad. It only takes a few minutes to make and the flavor is so much better than bottled.
