MANDARIN ALMOND SALAD
Here's a refreshing salad that's always a hit at our house. Crisp greens, bright oranges and red onion add pretty color to your meal, and the sweet caramelized almonds provide a unique crunch. This bowl gets passed around until it's empty! -Anne Heinonen, Howell, Michigan

A slightly sweet dressing with the crunchiness of sugared almonds makes this an outstanding salad! Recipe is requested every time it is served. Found recipe in Woman's Day magazine in 1995.

Steps:
- For dressing: mix oil, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Tear lettuce into serving bowl. Add mandarin slices and almonds.
- Mix in dressing, adding only as much as desired.
- Serve. Garnish with green onion if desired.
- *Note: You can toast almonds in a frying pan until brown, stirring regularly -- especially when they start getting dark. I also usually add a generous sprinkling of sugar to candy the almonds. The almonds will be soft when you take them off the element, but once they cool, they'll become crispy. You'll also have fun cleaning the pan!

SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED SLIVERED ALMONDS, MANDARIN ORANGES &
This recipe is for a great salad my friend Katie makes. When I tasted it I just had to have the recipe. I made it for guests and it is just delicious. It is especially refreshing as an accompaniment to steak and chicken. Don't stress as it seems complicated but it is easy really. Just a caution to chefs don't put the avocado and dressing on till right before tossing and serving as the salad will wilt if left too long and avocado will discolor. All the dressing does not all have to go on at once. Toss it with half and taste and then add more to taste. Thanks Katie for sharing.Enjoy! Chef DLH
