Suggest a better descriptionDirections for the Candied Spiced Almonds:
1. Place a large sheet of foil on a work surface. Spray with cooking spray or rub a tsp of oil over the foil.
2. Place sugar in a large non-stick sauté pan and heat over medium heat, occas tipping and swirling the sugar until it is all melted into a pale golden syrup.
3. Lower heat immediately and add butter, cinnamon, smoked paprika and vanilla. Stir until well combined and all the butter is incorporated into the sugar syrup.
4. Add the nuts and stir gently to coat. Don't worry if you have some clumps of caramelized sugar- they will melt as you continue to sauté the almonds. Cover and continue to cook on low, stirring every minute or so until the almonds are a delicious golden brown. Watch very closely because they can burn quickly and easily. Turn out onto the prepared foil and sprinkle liberally with sea salt. Spread out on foil to cool.
Directions for the Dressing:
Combine all the ingredients in a pint sized glass jar and shake well to dissolve the sugar.
Directions for the Salad:
Place greens and cilantro leaves in a large bowl. Add avocado and dried cranberries and about 1/4 cup of the dressing and
toss gently. Scatter candied almonds over salad and sprinkle lightly with sea salt and ground pepper.
