Ingredients
Spiced Almonds
Dressing
Leafy salad with frida flowers
Method
1.Preheat oven to 180°C fanbake. In a bowl stir together all the ingredients for spiced almonds along with a pinch of salt. Spread mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake until almonds are golden (10-12 minutes).
2.Stir gently to separate. Leave to cool then transfer to a bowl or airtight container.
3.For the dressing, add vinegar and honey to a food processor, add salt and pepper to taste, then pulse until well mixed. Slowly add the olive oil with the motor running so that it emulsifies and thickens.
4.Mix all leaves together and arrange on a platter. Scatter with edible flowers.
5.Just before serving, pour dressing over salad and sprinkle with spiced almonds and crumbled feta if using.
This salad, which is finished off with crumbled feta and a sprinkle of crunchy spiced almonds, can be eaten at any time, not just as part of a Mexican feast.
