Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup sliced or slivered almonds
1/2 cup sugar
1 head iceberg lettuce, rinsed
1 head romaine lettuce, rinsed
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
Dash of black pepper
Dash of cayenne
3 green onion (scallion) tops, thinly sliced
One 22-ounce can mandarin oranges, drained and chilled

Steps:

  • Mix the almonds with 1/4 cup of the sugar in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring as the sugar melts and the almonds brown. Carefully spread the almonds on an ungreased baking sheet to cool, using a metal spatula; the nuts will be very hot. When completely cooled, break the candied almonds into tiny pieces.
  • Tear the iceberg and romaine lettuce into pieces and transfer them to a salad bowl. Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
  • Combine the oil, vinegar, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and the parsley, salt, pepper and cayenne in a bowl, and mix well. Chill covered, in the refrigerator, until ready to serve.
  • Combine the lettuce, sliced green onions, candied almonds and orange segments in a large salad bowl. Just before serving, toss the salad with enough dressing to coat the greens.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really soggy. I think I used too much dressing.

This salad is a bit bland. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

The dressing is a bit too oily for my liking. I would use less olive oil next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey in the dressing next time.
