1/2cupalmondsslivered - I purchase the slivered almonds at my grocery store
5figsquartered lengthwise
For the Dressing:
3tablespoonextra virgin olive oil
2tablespoonlemon juice from fresh lemons
1/2teaspoonsaltor to taste
1/2teaspoonground black pepper
1teaspoonDijon mustardoptional
Instructions
Add the Spring Mix, cheese, raspberries, blueberries, and slivered almonds to a large salad bowl.
Cut each fig in half lengthwise, then slice the halves into another half to make quarters. Add to the salad bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine all salad dressing ingredients and pour over the salad. Mix well.
Notes
Make sure to dry all the ingredients well before combining them in a salad bowl. The moisture from the washed vegetables and berries will make the salad soggy quicker.
If you are making this salad ahead, or if you are making a larger portion as meal prep, do not add the dressing and keep the tomatoes in a separate container. Otherwise, the tomatoes and dressing will make the salad soggy. Combine right before serving.
