Thank you, Brianna!

Mammer's Bday Part 1 025Meet our new favorite salad. You may see it at EVERY meal. Why?  Because MY SON ATE IT! Spinach. Lettuce. HE ATE IT! And, not just one bite. A LOT! I was BEYOND SHOCKED! And, beyond happy! Thank you Brianna whoever you are…for making a dressing that makes my son eat salad! And, thank you Carrie for this priceless recipe. Mammer's Bday Part 1 052Carrie’s Strawberry Almond Salad

Croutons
Crushed caramelized almonds*
Brianna's’ Homestyle Blush Wine Vinaigrette dressing

*Crushed Caramelized Almonds:
1/2 cup sugar

Stir together sugar, butter and almonds constantly in skillet until they are a light caramel color. Spread on greased cookie sheet to crisp and cool.

Crush caramelized almonds when crisp by placing in a large freezer bag and rolling over with a rolling pin.
