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.

EASY MANDARIN ALMOND SALAD



Easy Mandarin Almond Salad image

Of all the salads listed by the same name, none are as simple as the recipe I always use. (Remember, I'm a lazy cook!!)

Provided by Swan Valley Tammi

Categories     Greens

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 head iceberg lettuce
1 (8 ounce) can mandarin orange pieces, drained
1/4 cup sliced almonds (or slivered, see note)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar

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 &



Salad With Caramelized Slivered Almonds, Mandarin Oranges & image

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
