Ingredients
Mandarin Orange Salad Ingredients:
- 1/2 c. sliced almonds
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1 c. celery diced
- 1 11 oz. can mandarin oranges drained
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce chopped
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce chopped
- 2 whole green onions diced
Dressing Ingredients:
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1/8 tsp. ground pepper
- 2 Tbsp. white vinegar
- 1 dash Tobasco sauce (or other hot sauce)
Instructions
- In a small pan over medium heat, heat almonds and sugar, stirring constantly until almonds are coated and sugar is dissolved. Watch carefully!! They will burn easily!
- Set almonds aside to cool on a piece of parchment paper and then store in an airtight container until ready to mix with salad.
- Mix the dressing ingredients together. I use a jar so that I can shake it all together and store in the refrigerator.
- Dice the celery and green onions and chop the romaine and iceberg lettuces.
- Throw everything except the oranges, almonds and dressing into a bowl and mix together. Just before serving, add almonds and oranges and drizzle with dressing. Toss to coat and serve!
