DIRECTION

Step: 1

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step: 2

Crush almonds into smaller pieces with a mortar and pestle or with a rolling pin.

Step: 3

Spread almonds in a single layer in a large skillet over high heat. Add corn syrup; cook, stirring gently to prevent almonds from clumping together, until corn syrup coats almonds, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread almonds on the prepared baking sheet. Cool until hardened and set.

Step: 4

Toss lettuce, blackberries, and feta cheese together in a large bowl.

Step: 5

Pour lemon juice into a small bowl. Drizzle in olive oil, whisking constantly until blended into the lemon juice. Whisk sesame oil into the dressing.

Step: 6

Break up cooled almonds and add to the salad. Mix dressing into the salad.
