- 1/2 cup unsalted almonds roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons fruity olive oil
- 1 tablespoon organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon organic honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Meyer lemon zest - or the zest of any lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 cups organic cool weather baby greens
- 8 organic ripe black figs halved
- 1/2 large, organic Granny Smith apple cored and chopped

Toast the chopped almonds in a small skillet over medium heat. As soon as you smell the almonds, give the skillet a shake and toast for one more minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, and lemon zest together in a large salad bowl.
Add the greens, figs, apple, goat cheese crumbles, and toasted almonds. Toss gently with the vinaigrette. Serve at once.
