Description
A refreshing salad with tangy citrus fruit and sweet crunchy almonds.
Ingredients
- 200g lettuce of your choice (7oz)
- 4 tangerines
- 110g almonds (1/2 plus 1/3 cup)
- 3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons water
- balsamic vinegar
- olive oil
- salt
- fresh chives
Instructions
- Wash and cut the lettuce. Peel and cut the tangerines. Take off any thick part of the skin and remove any seeds.
- To caramelize the almonds, heat a non-stick pan on medium-high and add almonds and sugar. Stir while the sugar dissolves.
- After 8-10 minutes the sugar will start to form clumps and appear dry and hard. Once that has happened, turn down the heat to low and add the water and continue stirring until all the liquid has evaporated and you are left with cripsy, sugar coated almonds.
- Assemble your salad and add balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and chives to taste.
Notes
Serve any leftover caramelized almonds you didn’t use for garnishing alongside the salad as a crispy treat.
