Dynamite Orange-Almond Salad
Ready In: 12 mins
Serves: 6-8
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
- 1⁄2 cup sliced almonds
- 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
Directions
- 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.
