    This is one of my Mom's classic recipes. It is perfect for a large barbeque or pot luck. I talk it to a block party in San Carlos last night and it was GONE in about an hour. Very good flavors!

    Ingredients

    • Dressing:
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 2 Tbsp sugar
    • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
    • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
    • Dash of tabasco or other red pepper sauce
    • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, minced
    • Salad:
    • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
    • 1/4 sugar
    • 6 cups romaine lettuce or spinach
    • 1 cup chopped celery
    • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
    • 11 oz can mandarin oranges, drained

    Directions

    1. Place all ingredients of dressing in a jar, shake well, and refrigerate.
    2. Place almonds and sugar in a skillet over low heat. Stir until sugar is melted and almonds are coated. pour almonds onto a sheet of waxed paper to cool. When cool, break the almonds into small pieces. Note: If done ahead of time, almonds can be stored in an airtight container until you assemble the salad.
