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
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

Directions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir almonds and sugar until almonds are coated and lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Spread the almonds on heavy-duty foil to cool; gently bread apart.
In a large salad bowl, combine romaine, oranges, celery and onions. Top with almonds. In a jar with tight-fitting lid, combine the dressing ingredients; shake well. Pour over the salad and toss gently.
