Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 6–10 cups Baby Spring Mix or Romaine Hearts (chopped)
- 2 White Peaches or Nectarines (sliced)
- 6 ounces Raspberries
- 1 cup Feta Cheese or White Cheddar Cheese
Candied Almonds
- 3/4 cup Sliced Almonds
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar
Dressing
- 3/4 cup Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 3–4 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Assemble greens and toppings: Place the baby spring mix or chopped romaine hearts on a large platter or in a salad bowl. Top evenly with sliced white peaches, fresh raspberries, and your choice of feta or white cheddar cheese.
- Prepare candied almonds: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sliced almonds and 3 tablespoons sugar. Stir frequently to prevent burning and to ensure the sugar melts evenly and coats the almonds. Once the almonds are well coated and the sugar has fully melted, remove from heat and spread the candied almonds onto wax or parchment paper to cool completely.
- Add candied almonds to salad: Once cooled, sprinkle the candied almonds evenly over the assembled salad to add a sweet and crunchy texture.
- Make the sweet dressing: In a small bowl or shaker bottle, whisk or shake together olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is emulsified. Chill the dressing in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- You can substitute white peaches with nectarines if peaches are not in season.
- The dressing can be adjusted for sweetness by varying sugar quantity between 3 to 4 tablespoons.
- For a nut-free version, omit almonds and use your favorite crunchy topping.
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
