Preparation

Step 1

Shake dressing, then refrigerate.

Cook almonds and sugar over low heat. Stir constantly until sugar has melted and covered almonds. Cook and break apart.

Tear greens into bite-size pieces, mix with celery and onion. Store in plastic bag. Five minutes before serving, add dressing, mandarin oranges and almonds.

Can use pineapple chunks with oranges, when making a larger amount.

The amount of dressing you use depends on how many salads you are making.

The above amount is good at least 8 salads.
