MANDARIN SALAD INGREDIENTS

Steps:

• 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!
