Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
The balsamic vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Feel free to add other fruits or vegetables to this salad, such as blueberries, blackberries, or cucumber.
For a heartier salad, consider adding grilled chicken or shrimp.
