Dressing

Sugared Almonds

The almonds will also start to turn golden brown. When you see the almonds begin to brown slightly, pour the sugared almonds onto a piece of wax paper and spread them out. Sprinkle a little salt over the almonds while they are still warm, and then allow them to cool completely.
Salad
