Place a small skillet over medium heat and add the sliced almonds. Toast them gently for 4-5 minutes while stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once the almonds are golden brown, remove them from the heat and set them aside to cool.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the honey vinaigrette. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 3
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, toasted almonds, dried cranberries, and crumbled goat cheese.
Step 4
Drizzle the honey vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to ensure the greens are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 5
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sweet Salad Greens with Almonds!
