Ingredients
For the pickled red onions:
- ¼ red onion sliced, medium
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
For the sweet and smoky candied almonds:
- ½ cup almonds whole
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ⅙ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
For the salad:
- 6-8 ounces greens spinach, arugula, watercress, spring greens, fresh
- 2 peaches halved, pitted and thinly sliced, medium
- ½ cup blueberries
- red onion see recipe above, pickled
- candied almonds see recipe above
- Honey Cider Poppy Seed Dressing to taste
- ⅓ cup goat cheese optional, crumbled
Instructions
For the pickled red onions:
- Combine all ingredients in a small covered container. Cover and shake well. Allow to sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, shaking occasionally.
For the sweet and smoky candied almonds:
- Preheat the oven to 325˚F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Spray a small, non-stick skillet and a heat-resistant spatula with cooking spray. Add the almonds, paprika, cayenne and salt and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently (scraping the sides of the pan) until almonds are coated and the maple syrup has disappeared (about 3-5 minutes).
- Transfer the almonds to the prepared pan and spread to a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the pan.
For the salad:
- Place greens in a large shallow bowl. Top with the peaches, blueberries, pickled red onions. Drizzle lightly with the dressing then sprinkle the candied almonds and goat cheese (if using) over the top. Pass extra dressing at the table.
