    Avocado & Lettuce Salad with Poppyseed Dressing

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

     The perfect combination of crisp, creamy, salty, and sweet.  A salad you will never grow tired of!  With crisp greens, creamy avocado, salty feta, and sweet sugared almonds - this Avocado and Lettuce salad comes together in minutes.

    What Should I Add To My Grocery List?

    I combine

    1. cold crisp greens with
    2. creamy avocado slices,
    3. salty feta cheese,
    4. tangy dried cranberries,
    5. and homemade sugared almonds.
    6. To top it off I use my favorite store bough dressing - Briannas Poppy Seed.

    Now normally - I am not a fan of store bough dressings - homemade is so easy and so much better...but this one is pure perfection for me.  If you want to go all homemade with this salad try this recipe for this dressing.

    How Do I Make The Almonds?

    Making homemade sugared almonds is easier than you think.  You'll need to add butter, almonds, and brown sugar to a small skillet.  Heat all over medium heat until nuts are toasted and sugar is melted.  Transfer the nuts to a plate to cool.

    Pro Tip: Make almonds ahead of time and store in an airtight container for a quick salad.

    Salad Assembly

    This salad can easily be turned into a meal simply by adding some sliced chicken.  Or keep it vegetarian and leave out the protein.  Either way it will satisfy that salad craving that summer brings.

    Layer lettuce, dried cranberries, avocado, almonds, and feta.  Top with poppyseed dressing.

    Lettuce Variations

    I like to use spring mix in this salad.  The combination of greens is beautiful and delicious.  But on occasion, I have used romaine or green leaf.  If other lettuces look fresher in the grocery store - I go with that. Feel free to choose the greens of your liking.
