Combine salad ingredients through the chives in a large salad bowl.
Heat a skillet on medium high heat with the almonds and olive oil. Cook until slightly browned and fragrant (akin to popcorn). Remove from heat and pour directly over salad.
Meanwhile, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients. Dress gradually, adding about half the amount and then the rest according to taste. I think less is more.
