Mixed Greens with Pluots, Slivered Almonds and Bacon

I bought the most delicious Dapple Dandy Pluots this week at the store. I can honestly say that I don't think I have ever had one before. I must go back and get more. They are delightful. The flavor is mostly like a plum, but the texture is firmer. Well, you'll just have to try one if you haven't. They are gorgeous inside and out--a lovely speckled peel and the stunning pink and red flesh.

So juicy and perfect paired with the bitter greens, crunchy almonds, and creamy poppyseed dressing. Oh--and the bacon. Mmm. I love a bit of crumbled bacon on my salads. (Not too much, just a bit.)




Mixed Greens with Pluots, Almonds, and Bacon
2-4 servings

Ingredients:
1 bag or tub of organic mixed greens
2-3 ripe, but firm pluots, sliced
4-5 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
1/2 cup slivered almonds (toasted or untoasted)
Poppyseed dressing (we like Brianna's or homemade)

Instructions:
Toss together and serve.

p.s. Thanks again for your encouraging words. I've been doing much better. Print this post

Good to see your post. I will go look for pluots on my next grocery run. I love plums, so these will be a great change of pace. Thanks!

This is making me salivate in a good healthy way, not in the usual "I ate a donut while walking through the grocery store because I can't handle going past the bakery case without stopping" kind of way.

I just bought pluots for the first time the other day too and wish I still had some so I could try this salad. My girls devoured them quickly.
Love the photos- so glad you are back!
