Ingredients
Salad:
- ⅔ cup sliced or slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 10 ounces arugula greens
- 8 ounces strawberries, hulled and quartered or chopped
- 1 avocado, chopped

- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

Instructions
- Prepare the Sugared Almonds: Place almonds in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir in sugar and cook until caramelized, about 6 to 8 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Transfer almonds to parchment paper to cool and break into pieces if clumped.
- Assemble the Salad: Toss arugula with salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add strawberries, avocado, goat cheese, pistachios, and sugared almonds. Drizzle with dressing and toss well. Serve immediately.
- Champagne Vinaigrette: In a bowl, combine vinegar, honey, lemon juice, dijon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk together and slowly stream in olive oil while whisking until well combined. Store in the fridge for up to one week.
