Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Put the vinaigrette together by whisking avocado oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, finely chopped shallot, a pinch of salt and pepper, then set aside.
Roughly chopped the almonds carefully.
Place the mixed greens in a large bowl or plate, then sprinkle some salt and pepper. Then add the cranberries and almonds.
Slice the brie in bite size pieces.
Slice the apples into thin slices (ideally wait until right before serving or see optional step below)
Optional step to keep apples from browning: if you want to get the apples ready in advance and don't want them to brown, place the slices into a bowl filled with cold water and a large pinch of salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. Then quickly rinse the apples and place them on paper towels to dry them completely.
Finally assemble the rest of the salad by adding the brie and apples, add the dressing, toss together and serve right away. Enjoy!

Notes

Honey roasted almonds: you can use any nuts you'd like from pecans to candied walnuts, up to your preference.
