Is there such a thing? I bought a huge bag of almonds at Costco hoping I could slice/sliver them to put on our salads, but when I used the food processor slicing blade, all I got was almond powder even though I used the pulse.

In the meantime I will chop them by hand using a manual chopper. Any ideas?

Hah. I'd love to see the answer to this one. When I buy whole almonds I slice them by hand. I've tried various items in my "batterie de cuisine" and they've either not worked or I've hurt my poor fingers (best thing I can suggest is a peeler). There's a specific almond slicer (thickness .6 mm) for my food processor but there's no way I'm paying mucho dinero for that one.

Ruth,

I would make this with the almonds you bought and buy sliced almonds for salad...    Slicing them by hand sounds like way more work than it's worth, but homemade almond butter is delicious!!
