Ingredients
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
black pepper, to taste
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
4 tablespoons vinegar, white balsamic
-
1/4 cup oil
-
6 drops Tabasco sauce (we like some zing)
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
-
3 tablespoons sugar
-
1 (12 ounce) bag mixed greens
-
2 green onions, chopped
-
1/8 cup sliced red onion
-
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
-
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- For dressing, combine first seven ingredients (from salt through parsley). Whisk until well blended.
- For glazed almonds, combine almonds and sugar in a small skillet. Heat on low and stir constantly until sugar is dissolved and almonds are well coated. Sugar can caramelize quickly and burn--watch closely.
- Pour onto waxed paper to cool.
- Once cooled, break into small pieces.
- To serve the salad, combine greens, onions and mandarin oranges into a large salad bowl. Pour dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle glazed almonds on top and serve.
