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)
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))

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!
