Combine the dressing ingredients. Stir vigorously with a fork to blend sugar. (You can also shake ingredients in a jar.)

For the sugared almonds, melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add almonds and stir until well coated. Sprinkle sugar over the almonds and stir until the sugar is mixed in. Remove from heat and empty almonds onto a baking sheet. Broil until almonds are lightly toasted. Let cool.

Personal Notes:
You can adjust the amounts on the salad according to your personal taste. We go heavy on the craisins and almonds. You can even add a sprinkle of feta cheese if you are feeling fancy.
