Mandarin Orange Salad

Grandma JaneAnn's recipe.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sliced almonds

3 tablespoons sugar

1/2 head iceberg lettuce

1/4 head bib lettuce

1 cup chopped celery

2 whole green onion, chopped

1, 11 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained

1/2 teaspoon salt

Dash of pepper

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoon vinegar

Dash of Tabasco

In a small pan over medium heat, cook almonds and sugar, stirring constantly until almonds are coated and sugar is dissolved. Watch carefully, as they will burn easily. Cool and store in an airtight container. Mix all dressing ingredients and chill. Mix lettuce, celery, and onions. Just before serving add almonds and oranges and toss with dressing.
