Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

2 hearts romaine lettuce, chopped
3 navel oranges
2 ounces, 1/4 cup, sliced almonds or slivered almonds, available on the baking aisle, toasted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, 2 or 3 sprigs

Stand the orange upright and trim off strips of the remaining peel working from top to bottom around the orange. Cut each orange then in 1/2 lengthwise. Slice the 1/2 oranges into 1/2 moon shapes. Arrange the sliced oranges around the chopped romaine. Lightly toast the almonds in a small skillet over moderate heat or in a toaster or conventional oven. Top the romaine and oranges with toasted almonds and chopped tarragon.
