• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 ounces Goat cheese
• 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice

• 0.25 cup Red onion

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.

Spread the asparagus evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned. Once roasted, let them cool slightly and cut into 2-inch pieces.

Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 5

Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the vinaigrette.

Step 7

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, roasted asparagus, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices.

Step 8

Crumble the goat cheese over the salad and sprinkle the toasted almonds on top.

Step 9

Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss everything together until well coated.
