This salad is great for any time of year!
Spring greens
1/4 red onion
1/4-1/3 cup chèvre
1/2 cup raw almonds
1 cup fresh blackberries or raspberries
Start by roasting almonds in a large cast iron skillet. Almonds should be roasted very slowly and rotated often. After roasting, let cool before adding to salad. Meanwhile, assemble spring greens in serving bowls or plates. Sliver the red onion very finely and decorate on top of spring greens. Crumble the chèvre directly onto the spring greens. Decorate salad with berries and roasted almonds.
