Cooking Steps
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-low.
- When hot, add almonds, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water to the dry pan.
- Toast, stirring often, until almonds are golden-brown and coated in caramel glaze, 3-4 min.
- Carefully arrange almond pralines on a plate in a single layer. (NOTE: Be careful — caramel will be hot! Do not touch pralines until cool.)
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt over top.
- When almond pralines are done, reheat the same pan over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then protein shreds. Cook for 6-8 min, flipping once or twice, until cooked through.**
- Season with garlic salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- While protein shreds cook, core, then cut apple into 1/2-inch pieces.
- In a small bowl, add vinegar, blueberry jam, mustard, 1 tsp (2 tsp) water and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil.
- Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- When protein shreds are done, add spring mix to a large bowl.
- Drizzle half the blueberry vinaigrette over top, then toss to coat.
- Divide salad between plates. Top with apples, then protein shreds.
- Drizzle remaining blueberry vinaigrette over top.
- Sprinkle with almond pralines.
