Sweet/Crunchy salad, you will want it to be your entire dinner. I wanted an impressive, different, dinner salad when I married 18 years ago. I came across this recipe, and it has held true to the test of time. Served at Bunko last week, they loved it. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons sugar, divided |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
1/4 cup oil |
2 tablespoons vinegar |
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
1 bunch red leaf lettuce, torn |
11 ounces mandarin oranges |
1 small red onion, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. In a small skillet, melt 3 tbsp sugar over low heat. Add almonds, stir until coated. Cool, break into small pieces and set aside.
2. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine all ingredients except last 3, shake well.
3. Just before serving combine lettuce, oranges, onions, and almonds. Shake dressing pour over salad and toss.
