Mandarin Orange Salad

This is a recipe for another one of our favorite green salads. The original recipe called for iceberg (yuck) and romaine lettuce. You can use salad greens. I used our Red Boston lettuce the we got in our CSA box. Arthur said its some of the best lettuce he's ever had; very tender and delicate.

The original recipe called for you to caramelize the almonds which I didn't bother to do.

1/2 cup almonds
bowl of salad greens or lettuce
1 can (11 oz.) mandarin orange sections, drained
2 stalks celery, sliced
2 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Dressing:
3 tablespoons canola or sunflower oil
2 tablespoons vinegar (I used white wine vinegar)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sugar

Combine salad ingredients, sprinkle with the almonds just before serving. Prepare dressing by mixing or shaking all the ingredients together. Pour as much over the salad as you prefer.
