Organic Baby Spring Mix Salad with Apples, Cranberries, Goat Cheese & Candied Almonds

For the honey lemon vinaigrette: Stir together the Dijon, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Set aside

For the candied almonds: Combine almonds and sugar in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until sugar is melted over almonds. You will be constantly stirring, so don’t plan to go anywhere for the next 3-5 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Spread almonds in a single layer on waxed paper to cool.

For the salad: Add the spring lettuce mix to a bowl. Then add the apple, cranberries and 1/4 cup of the candied almonds. Sprinkle the goat cheese on top. Serve with vinaigrette.
