  • If you don't have time to make the candied almonds, you can use store-bought candied almonds or chopped nuts instead.
  • Use a variety of greens for your salad. This will add color and flavor to the dish.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your salad, such as crumbled feta cheese, grilled chicken, or avocado.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. This will help prevent the greens from wilting.
