It’s not often that I rave about recipes, but this salad is a good one. It’s very similar to my Triple Berry Salad with Sugared Almonds (a website and Recipe Girl Cookbook favorite!) But it’s a little bit simpler than that recipe, and it only calls for strawberries. The sugared almonds are totally addicting. You may wish to make extra because you’ll want to keep nibbling on them!
How to make Green Salad with Strawberries and Sugared Almonds:
The first step is making the sugared almonds. Heat a small skillet with sugar in it. The sugar will begin to melt in the skillet. Add slivered almonds and stir to coat the almonds in sugar and let the almonds turn light brown. Remove the almonds from the skillet onto a surface for cooling where they are not going to continue to cook- a glass pie plate works just fine.
Make the dressing. It’s a mixture of olive oil, sugar, fresh parsley, white wine vinegar, sea salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce. Whisk it all together!
Once you have the sugared almonds and dressing prepared, it’s time to assemble the salad. In a large bowl, add salad greens, chopped celery, chopped green onions and fresh, sliced strawberries. At this point, if you want to serve the salad later, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
When ready to serve, toss the salad with the dressing and then sprinkle in the sugared almonds.
Serve, and enjoy! I’m guessing my green salad with strawberries and sugared almonds is going to become a new favorite salad of yours. You might like to make it often! If you want to make a main dish salad out of it, add some chopped chicken or grilled steak. We like to do that with our grilling leftovers to make a light dinner. It’s delicious!
