Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 head romaine lettuce chopped
  • 3 cups strawberrries cleaned and sliced
  • 1 cup feta cheese grated
  • 1 cup almonds

Dressing

  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsps brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsps balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup raspberry dressing (I used Kraft)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

Salad

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Roughly crush almonds. I put them in a re-sealable bag and crush them with my rolling pin.
  • Toast almonds 10-13 minutes. Monitor closely since nuts can burn quickly.
  • Arrange lettuce, strawberries and feta on a platter.

Dressing

  • Whisk all dressing ingredients together until well combined.
  • Top salad with cooled crushed almonds just before serving and drizzle dressing over salad.

Notes

The garlic is  a lot of what makes this dressing sharp.  If you have any reservations about garlic reduce the amount to 1 clove.
