Mixed greens
Strawberries, hulled and quartered
½ cup slivered almonds
½ red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp sugar
balsamic vinaigrette
Add the almonds and the sugar to a small sauté pan. Heat on low until the sugar starts to melt, and the almonds become toasted. Take your time with this step. Cool on a sheet of waxed paper.
Toss the greens, strawberries and red onion with the vinaigrette and top with the candied almonds.
