SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED SLIVERED ALMONDS, MANDARIN ORANGES &
This recipe is for a great salad my friend Katie makes. When I tasted it I just had to have the recipe. I made it for guests and it is just delicious. It is especially refreshing as an accompaniment to steak and chicken. Don't stress as it seems complicated but it is easy really. Just a caution to chefs don't put the avocado and dressing on till right before tossing and serving as the salad will wilt if left too long and avocado will discolor. All the dressing does not all have to go on at once. Toss it with half and taste and then add more to taste. Thanks Katie for sharing.Enjoy! Chef DLH

Tips:
- To make the caramelized slivered almonds, use a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and sugar and stir constantly until the almonds are coated and the sugar is melted and golden brown. This should take about 5 minutes.
- For the salad dressing, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- To assemble the salad, place the mixed greens, mandarin oranges, red onion, and goat cheese in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat. Top with the caramelized slivered almonds and serve immediately.
- For a vegan version of the salad, omit the goat cheese and use a plant-based dressing.
- To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and caramelized almonds up to 2 days in advance. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Just before serving, assemble the salad and top with the dressing and almonds.
Conclusion:
This salad is a delicious and refreshing combination of flavors and textures. The sweet and tangy dressing, the crunchy almonds, and the creamy goat cheese all come together to create a salad that is both satisfying and light. It's perfect for a summer lunch or dinner, or as a side dish at a potluck or barbecue.
