Preparation

Step 1

For the dressing:

1. Combine all ingredients and chill till serving

For the nuts:

1. Combine sugar and almonds. Stir constantly over medium heat till sugar melts and browns. Spread on foil to cool.

For the salad:

1. Use about 3/4 of a round of Brie. Cut into thin slices and slice in half, then cube. Take a small amount of the dressing and put into a bowl. Add the cheese as you slice, stirring to coat. This will keep the pieces separate.

2. Combine lettuce, cheese and berries in a serving bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat. Add almonds.

3. DO NOT use double cream Brie for this recipe.
