I have been making this salad for at least 25 years. I think I got it from my friend, Cloetta. We served it at a church party for over 150. I like to make this the day before and refrigerate, individually, in ziploc bags. When we are ready to eat mix together. (Add chow mein noodles last if desired. I don't use them at all)
Ingredients:
1 head iceberg lettuce
3 tablespoons green onions (some tops)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
1 (3 ounce) package almonds, toasted
1 (8 ounce) can mandarin oranges (drained)
5 ounces chow mein noodles (optional)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup vinegar
3/4 cup salad oil
Directions:
1. Wash, dry and tear lettuce. I like to prepare my lettuce hours earlier and refrigerate in a ziploc bag, so that it will be crisp.
2. Wash and chop onions.
3. Toast sesame seeds and almonds in small skillet. I don't toast them together.
4. Drain mandrian oranges.
5. Prepare dressing.
6. Mix everything right before serving.
7. Add chow mein noodles last minute.
