Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce (more or less tabasco is best for this as it just brings some heat to the party)
  • 1 dash black pepper
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 4 cups torn romaine lettuce
  • 4 cups torn spinach leaves (or any combination of lettuces)

Directions:

  1. In jar with tight-fitting lid, combine all dressing ingredients; shake well. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  2. In skillet, cook almonds and sugar over medium low heat until sugar melts and coats almonds, stirring frequently. Cool; break apart.
  3. Combine the rest of the salad ingredients.
  4. Toss with dressing and top with almonds-I prefer to top the salad, and at the last minute, as opposed to tossing the almonds in the salad to keep the sugar from being washed off by the dressing.
