Almond Spinach Salad
Produce used: Lemon, red onion, spinach 
 

• 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp white wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 4 cups spinach leaves (approximately)
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/3 cup sliced red onion
• 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Stir together mustard, garlic, sugar, lemon juice, and vinegar.  Slowly whisk in oil until emulsified.  Set aside.

Heat sugar and almonds in a saute pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and coats almonds. Spread onto foil or waxed paper to cool.  Break into small pieces.

Place spinach, cranberries, red onion, goat cheese, and almonds in a salad bowl.  Toss with dressing until evenly coated.
