This week I'm sharing one of my favorite salads, a vegetarian almond citrus salad. The only component that needs to be made is the dressing, so it's great to prepare a day or two ahead of time. I normally make the dressing on Sunday, and store it in a small jar in the refrigerator. I hope you enjoy this and all the recipes this weekend! Thank you to Liz for hosting!

Almond Citrus Salad
Prep Time 10 minutes
Inactive Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Servings 5-6
Ingredients
2 romaine lettuce hearts
1 bag of shredded carrots
3 oz sliced almonds
3 oz dried cranberries
zest of one lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of minced garlic
juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup low fat buttermilk
1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp pepper
Steps
Chop the lettuce into bite size pieces. In a medium bowl, toss the lettuce, carrots, almonds, cranberries, and zest together. Set aside.
Heat a sautee pan over medium heat, and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the garlic, and sautee the garlic until it becomes soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the garlic to a small bowl, and refrigerate it for 5 minutes.
Once the garlic has cooled, whisk the juice, garlic, butttermilk, 1 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper together. Toss the dressing with the salad and serve!
