Ingredients

  • Caramelized Almonds
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Salad
  • 2 heads butter lettuce, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

  4. Sprinkle the almonds over the salad and serve immediately.
