Ingredients
  

  • 2 small heads soft lettuce, butter lettuce or similar
  • 1 half recipe Lemon Vinaigrette
  • 1 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons pepitas
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup microgreens
  • Flaky sea salt, optional
Roasted Tamari Almonds
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds
  • 1/2 tablespoon tamari

Method
 

  1. Roast the almonds: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the almonds on the sheet and toss with tamari. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Assemble the salad. In a large bowl toss the lettuce with a few spoonfuls of the lemon vinaigrette. Add the cucumber, parmesan, pepitas, avocado, and tamari almonds. Drizzle with more dressing and top with microgreens. Season to taste with flaky sea salt, if desired.
