Ingredients
- 6 cups mixed greens original asked for Arugula
- ½ cup Asiago cheese shaved in slivers
- ½ cup toasted Tamari almonds see Note 1 to make your own
- 2 Tbsps chopped chives optional
Lemon Dressing
- 3 Tbsps lemon juice preferably fresh
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3 Tbsps light olive oil or grapeseed oil
- ½ teaspoon each salt and black pepper See note 2
Instructions
- Coarsely chop Tamari almonds. See Note 1 if making your own version. Toss greens, almonds and shaved Asiago in a large bowl.
- Mix all dressing ingredients. Toss dressing with the salad to coat and serve.
Notes
Note 1: Sprinkle ½ cup roasted almonds with 1 teaspoon of Tamari or soy sauce. Roast in Air fryer or 350 degree oven for 5-7 minutes until almonds are dry and Tamari is absorbed. Stir occasionally to separate. Allow to cool before adding to salad.
Note 2: Start with a small amount of salt. The Tamari almonds may be quite salty if store bought. If you are sensitive to salt you may choose to reduce or omit salt from the dressing.
