"IF YOU don't try this refreshing salad, you have missed the best! The crisp greens and bright oranges make it colorful, and the sweet caramelized almonds create a unique crunch. This salad is a special treat for family and company. -Les Cunningham, San Diego, California"

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 6 cups torn romaine
  • 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • DRESSING:
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
