Sugared almonds give Dolores Lueken's delicious salad an over-the-top kick that will have guests coming back for seconds. She sent the healthy and flavorful salad from her kitchen in Ferdinand, Indiana. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
1 package (5 ounces) spring mix salad greens |
6 cups torn romaine |
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained |
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced |
1 small red onion, chopped |
2 green onions, thinly sliced |
dressing: |
3 tablespoons canola oil |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
5 teaspoons sugar |
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In a small heavy skillet, cook and stir the sugar over medium-low heat until melted. Stir in almonds; cook for 1 minute or until lightly browned. Spread onto foil coated with cooking spray; set aside.
2. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, romaine, oranges, celery and onions. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients. Drizzle over salad; add almonds and toss to coat. Yield: 8 servings.
