- 1/4 cup unsalted almonds
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

For the tartlets

For the green salad
- 1 cup salad greens of your choice

Instructions
- Use a sharp kitchen knife to chop off any leaves and any thick stems from the broccolini stalks.
- Combine onion, cherry tomatoes, broccolini in a big bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut puff pastry in even squares. Divide pesto over the squares, stay about 1 inch from the side.
