Raspberries add bright color and several good-for-you nutrients like fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C. Almonds are a good source of vitamin E and monounsaturated fats. Chives, members of the onion family, add phenols and flavonoids.
How to Make It
Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine vinegar and next 4 ingredients (through pepper) in a small bowl. Gradually add oil, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle vinegar mixture over lettuce mixture; toss gently to coat. Arrange 1 cup salad on each of 6 plates; top each serving with 1 tablespoon Sweet Spiced Almonds.

This was delicious. The almonds didn't take long and were absolutely delicious. I doubled the recipe for a group of 13, and it was the perfect amount. I used one pint of fresh raspberries and about 3/4 cup of the almonds. The dressing was light, and the salad was just outstanding.

Made this dish according to the recipe and it turned out fabulous - a real crowd pleaser! Look forward to serving this again since the berries are perfect right now at the Farmer's Market.
Great sweet and crunch
