Salad
- 3 cups raw spinach
- 1 firm pear, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano cheese, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries Honey Dijon Dressing
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk together the dressing ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
- Step 2: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake the almonds for 4 to 6 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them - the nuts can go from toasted to burnt very quickly. Once toasted, remove from the baking sheet and transfer to a plate or bowl to stop the cooking process.
- Step 3: Use a vegetable peeler to peel thin shards of parmesan to equal the 1/2 cup. Add all of the salad ingredients, including the cheese, to a mixing bowl.
- Serve: Pour in the dressing, to taste, and toss to combine. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Every 3 cups of spinach is equal to about 3 big handfuls.
