This sweet and crunchy salad is very kid friendly! I first tried this when I visited my family in Newfoundland, and managed to get a copy of the recipe. Make lots, there won't be any left over. Any kind of lettuce can be used as well as spinach. Raisins can also be added. Ingredients:
dressing |
1 onion, minced |
2/3 cup white sugar |
1 tablespoon dry mustard |
1 teaspoon celery seed |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar |
1/2 cup olive oil |
salad |
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped |
1 (10 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained |
5 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced |
3 tablespoons slivered almonds |
3 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon |
Directions:
1. Place the onion, sugar, mustard, celery seed, and black pepper into a small bowl. Pour in the vinegar, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is thick. Cover, and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
2. To make the salad, toss the lettuce, oranges, mushrooms, almonds, and bacon together in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing, and toss again to coat.
