Tips:

  • For a more flavorful salad, toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before adding them to the salad.
  • If you're using a store-bought citrus vinaigrette, be sure to taste it before adding it to the salad. You may want to add a little honey or agave nectar to sweeten it.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and the salad separately. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to serve, toss the salad with the dressing and top with the almonds.
