Ingredients

Dressing

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 3 tablespoons onion, chopped
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup salad oil

Salad

  • 1 bag mixed greens (Spring Mix is good)
  • 1/2 cup almond slices, caramelized
  • 1/2 red onion (small), thinly sliced
  • 1 cup dried cranberries or craisins
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. To make the dressing, mix all the ingredients (except the oil) in a blender or Cuisinart. Slowly add the oil while continuing to blend. Mixture will thicken. Chill until use (at least 2 hours). This will make enough for about 2 salads.
  2. To caramelize the almonds, mix almonds with 2-3 tablespoons of sugar in a small saucepan, and then heat and stir until sugar melts and coats the almonds. Pour out onto foil to cool. Break apart.
