Author Notes: This is one of my favorite salads to make for myself because it is rich and delicious! I recommend paring this salad with a glass of Cotes de Gascogne and an episode or two of Seinfeld. Please note that I am a little loose with the ingredient measurements because I don't know how hungry you are! - Helenthenanny

Serves one!

a handful of almonds
a pinch or two of cayenne
a pinch of salt
mixed greens
a handful of dried and sweetened cranberries
a pearl red onion, sliced into thin slivers
2 ounces or so of smoked salmon
1 1/2 ounce goat cheese crumbles
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
honey

Put your almonds in a bag with the cayenne and salt and shake.
Put the mixed greens in a bowl and add the almonds, dried cranberries, red onion slices, and goat cheese crumbles. Break up the smoked salmon into flakes and add them to the salad. Drizzle a little olive oil and balsamic onto the salad to taste, along with a little bit of honey. Toss gently and eat!
