Preparation

Step 1

In jar with tight fitting lid, combine all dressing ingredients; shake well. Refrigerate 1 hour to blend flavors. In a heavy skillet, cook almonds and sugar over medium-low heat until sugar melts and coats almonds, stirring frequently. Pour onto foil; cool. Break sugar coated almonds apart if necessary. In large bowl, combine remaining salad ingredients except orange segments. Add almonds and orange segments; toss gently. Pour dressing over salad; toss to combine.
