To make green almond salad, wash and thinly slice fresh green almonds, then toss them with herbs such as parsley or mint and a simple lemon-and-olive-oil dressing. Add the dressing just before serving to keep the herbs crisp.
Green almonds give green almond salad a crisp texture and a tart, fresh, slightly grassy flavor. Their taste is sharper than that of mature almonds, so mild herbs and olive oil make good companions without masking their seasonal character.
Yes, green almonds are eaten raw in green almond salad. Rinse them well and slice them thinly; younger ones are tender, while larger, more mature green almonds may have a firmer pit that is easier to remove before serving.
No, you generally do not peel green almonds for green almond salad. The thin green outer layer is eaten along with the fruit. Wash them, trim any tough stem ends, and remove a hardening pit if it makes the slices unpleasant to bite.
No, regular mature almonds are not a close substitute for green almonds in green almond salad. Mature almonds are hard, dry nuts, while green almonds are young, juicy, and tart; replacing them changes both the texture and the defining flavor.
Green almond salad is best eaten the day it is made. If you need to keep leftovers, refrigerate them in a sealed container; salad already dressed with lemon and salt will soften, so store the dressing separately whenever possible.
Green almond salad pairs well with grilled fish, grilled meats, or a simple grain dish. Its tart crunch cuts through richer foods, and it can also be served as part of a spring meal with bread and other fresh vegetables.
A light dressing of lemon juice and olive oil suits green almond salad best because it complements the almonds’ natural tartness. Use salt sparingly and taste before adding more lemon; the green almonds may already make the salad quite tangy.
The soft inner part of a very young green almond may be tender enough to eat, but a more developed pit can be hard and unpleasant. For green almond salad, slice the almonds and remove any pit that has started to harden.
No, freezing prepared green almond salad is not recommended because thawing makes the fresh almonds and herbs soft and watery. For a better result, keep whole green almonds refrigerated and prepare the salad shortly before you plan to serve it.

Green almond salad is a spring dish built around young, immature almonds, gathered before their shells harden. The almonds are sliced or chopped and commonly tossed with leafy greens, herbs, lemon and olive oil. It is especially associated with Turkey and the eastern Mediterranean, where green almonds are a brief seasonal treat.
Their crisp bite and tart, slightly astringent flavour make the salad refreshing alongside grilled foods, mezze or a simple lunch. It is light in calories and provides fibre; for a more filling meal, add chickpeas or another favourite pulse. A restrained lemon-and-olive-oil dressing lets the distinctive green almonds remain the focus.
