Hubby and I loved this salad. It now has a permanent place in my recipe box.  Go ahead; give it a try, you are sure to like it!  I served it with grilled chicken breast.

This was adapted from a recipe in Cooking Light magazine.

1 bag of your favorite salad (I used Spring Mix)
1 6oz container fresh raspberries
¼ cup chopped fresh chives
1 ½ TBL apple cider vinegar
1 ½ TBL white vinegar
2 TSP honey
½ TSP Dijon mustard
¼ tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 TBL canola oil
6 TBL sweet spiced almonds (recipe follows)

Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine vinegars and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl, add oil stirring with a whisk.  Drizzle over lettuce mixture, toss to coat.  Top with sweet spiced almonds.

 Sweet Spiced Almonds

1 cup sliced almonds
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 TSP cinnamon
½ TSP ground coriander
½ TSP ground cumin
1 large egg white lightly beaten
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 325/  Combine almonds & next 4 ingredients in a small bowl.  Add egg white, mix till incorporated. Spread evenly onto a foil lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray.  Bake for 10 minutes, stir, spread out evenly on cooking sheet again & bake for 15 more minutes or till crisp.  Transfer foil to wire rack and cool.  Break almond mixture into small pieces.

Looks good....looking forward to trying all your new recipes in about a month! Can't wait to visit the flower markets.
The bike is a good idea. My oldest granddaughter from Boise is here this week, at 13, she's all about the shopping. We've been having a great time. I'm flying back to Boise with her this weekend. Talk to you soon!
