For best results, allow the salad to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop. Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Feel free to experiment with other types of cheese, such as feta or goat cheese, or add other crunchy elements like sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts. If you don't have time to let the mixture sit for an hour, 30 minutes will suffice.
