Red & Green Salad with Toasted Almonds image

During a long Midwest winter, I crave greens and tomatoes from the garden. These leaf lettuces and grape tomatoes have a fantastic out-of-the-garden taste. Thank goodness we can get them year-round. -Jasmine Rose, Crystal Lake, Illinois

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I had some leftover roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts, and they were perfect in this salad.

I'm not a fan of goat cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It was still delicious!
