For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the fruit puree. To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lime or lemon juice before adding it to the salad. The candied almonds can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to a week. Feel free to experiment with other greens like spinach or mixed greens in place of romaine lettuce. If you don't have balsamic vinegar on hand, you can use a light vinaigrette or even a simple dressing of olive oil and lemon juice.
