âCandied almonds make this delicious salad extra special,â writes Marilyn Anderson from Hudsonville, Michigan. âPay attention when youâre preparing the almonds so they donât burn.â Ingredients:
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon white vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon celery seed |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
dash pepper |
salad: |
1 package (3 ounces) slivered almonds |
2 teaspoons butter |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2-1/2 cups torn mixed salad greens |
2 snack-size cups (4 ounces each) mandarin oranges, drained |
2 green onions, chopped |
Directions:
1. For dressing, combine the first six ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake until sugar is dissolved. In a heavy skillet, saute almonds in butter until toasted, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar; cook and stir until sugar is melted, about 3 minutes. Spread on foil to cool; break apart.
2. On two salad plates, arrange the greens, oranges and onions. Shake the dressing; drizzle over salads. Sprinkle with sugared almonds. Yield: 2 servings.
