Mandarin Tossed Salad

This was served at a ward dinner a few years ago and it has become a family favorite.

MANDARIN TOSSED SALAD
                                                                        from Diane Mortensen

1 head romaine lettuce, chopped

1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped

1 cup celery, chopped

2 whole green onions, chopped

1 can mandarin oranges, drained

Mix all together.

Put 3 Tbls sugar and 1/2 c sliced almonds in non-stick skillet. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Set aside.

Dressing:

1/2 tsp salt

dash pepper

1/4 c veg oil

1 T chopped parsley

2 T sugar

2 T vinegar

dash Tabasco

Toss salad with dressing and top with glazed almonds.
(I like this with extra glazed almonds and extra oranges, depending on how large the heads of lettuce are.)
