Cranberry Almond Lettuce Salad

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Great combination of ingredients, but far too much sugar for my liking. I think the cranberries (used a mix of cranberries and raisins) give the salad enough sweetness and simply toasting the almonds would work better than glazing them in sugar.. unless you want to serve an unusual dessert of course :) Saying this, I guess if you use unsweetened (naturally sour) cranberries then adding a little extra sweetness might work well. Very difficult to find unsweetened cranberries around here though. I also found that I didn't even need half the dressing I made following the recipe.. so need to make some more salad tomorrow to use it up!!

    Cranberry Almond Lettuce Salad,This salad has a great combination of toppings, a sweet dressing and crunchy glazed almonds.,Great combination of ingredients, but far too much sugar for my liking. I think the cranberries (used a mix of cranberries and raisins) give the salad enough sweetness and simply toasting the almonds would work better than glazing them in sugar.. unless you want to serve an unusual dessert of course 🙂 Saying this, I guess if you use unsweetened (naturally sour) cranberries then adding a little extra sweetness might work well. Very difficult to find unsweetened cranberries around here though. I also found that I didn’t even need half the dressing I made following the recipe.. so need to make some more salad tomorrow to use it up!!,This is a great salad! I just used a mixture of greens that I had growning in my garden. used craisins and we did not even use the cheese. The dressing was simple and very tasty. With all of the salad that we have growing in the garden we will use this often. We love the dressing and have used it for other salad combinations. I did use a raspberry balsamic vinegar and have used a splenda blend instead of sugar.
