I cut this salad recipe out of a magazine years ago... and it has been a family favorite ever since. It is called "Carole Faxon's That Illinois Salad" which is such a long name for a salad, so we just call it Mandarin Orange Salad.
P.S. I just web searched the recipe and you can find the original {here}!
Mandarin Orange Salad
1 head Romaine Lettuce, chopped
3 Green Onions, sliced
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2-4 tablespoons sugar
Stir almonds and sugar together in a small saucepan over medium heat until golden brown. Quickly spread the almonds out on a piece of waxed paper sprayed with baking spray. Let cool. Once cooled break into bite size pieces.
Add lettuce, onions, oranges and candied almonds into a serving bowl. Drizzle dressing over top and toss salad together.
Dressing:
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Add ingredients into a small jar with a tight fitting lid, and shake to incorporate.
I was called away for a few minutes while making the candied almonds, which then burned. So first I carmelizedthe sugar, then added the almonds which turned out beautifully
