Ingredients

  • ⅓ C sliced almonds
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 bunch of spinach
  • 1 C chopped celery
  • 2 whole green onions chopped
  • 12 oz mandarin orange slices or 1-11 oz can mandarin oranges, drained

For the Dressing:

  • ½ tsp salt
  • dash of pepper
  • ¼ C safflower oil
  • 1 Tbsp chopped parsley
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
  • Dash of Tabasco sauce or more...truthfully I like several!

Instructions

  • In a small pan over medium heat, cook almonds and sugar stirring constantly until almonds are coated and sugar is melted. Watch carefully as they will burn easily. Cool and store in an air-tight container.
  • Mix all dressing ingredients and chill.
  • Mix spinach, celery, and green onions. Just before serving, add almonds and oranges. Toss with dressing.
