MANDARIN ORANGE AND GREEN SALAD

The ladies at our old church always made this for dinners. When I asked for the recipe, they gave it to me on an old recipe card, written in beautiful cursive script. When reading it, I thought the mix of ingredients sounded odd, but it is absolutely delcious. It's a wonderful green salad that is wonderful for company. It's also good as a main course with a chicken breast on top. Very adaptable - you can add other fruit, too. Strawberries and blueberries.

1/2 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 head iceberg lettuce
1/2 head romaine lettuce
1 cup celery, chopped
2 whole green onions, chopped
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained

1/4 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 tablespoons sugar

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful oranges: The quality of your oranges will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size, have a deep orange color, and are free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of greens: This will add flavor and texture to your salad. Good options include romaine lettuce, arugula, spinach, and kale.
  • Make sure to segment your oranges: This will make them easier to eat and help to prevent them from becoming bitter.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You want to enhance the flavors of the oranges and greens, not overpower them.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This will help to prevent the greens from wilting and the oranges from becoming soggy.
