Linda’s Mandarin Orange Salad
Recipe from: Linda Pajor
Dressing: ½ tsp salt 2 Tbsp vinegar
1/8 tsp pepper ¼ c oil
2 Tbsp sugar
Tossed Salad:
1 head of lettuce, torn in pieces (I use 3 bunches of Romaine lettuce)
1 c celery, chopped
1tsp parsley, minced (optional, I don't add)
2 green onions with tops, chopped
1 can Mandarin oranges, drained (I use 3-4 cans depending on size)
Topping:
¼ c almonds, sliced
2 Tbsp sugar
Caramelize almonds by adding 2 Tbsp sugar and almonds in a nonstick pan. Stir together over a low heat until sugar melts and collects on almonds. Cool on wax paper. Set aside.
Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar. Shake vigorously. Refrigerate.
In a large bowl, combine and toss lettuce, celery, parsley, green onions and oranges.
Just before serving, add the dressing and top with the caramelized almonds.
Hints:
•I prepare 1 c sliced almonds with 7 T sugar.
•I make one recipe of the dressing. It goes a long way.
