Instructions

In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, combine sliced almonds and sugar. Stir frequently until the sugar melts and coats the almonds (about 6-8 minutes). Transfer to parchment paper to cool.
In a large bowl, toss arugula with salt and pepper. Add strawberries, avocado, goat cheese, pistachios, and cooled almonds.
For the dressing: whisk together champagne vinegar, lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, grated garlic, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Slowly stream in olive oil while whisking until emulsified.
Drizzle dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently.
