Process
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.
