My amazing Pastor's wife brought this delicious salad to a birthday party this Spring. I seriously couldn't get enough of it. It's sweet...but not too sweet...and so incredibly fresh and crunchy from the Romaine lettuce and almonds. She doubled the recipe and it fed a small-ish crowd, so I would say if you're taking this to a party definitely double it. If you're just making it for home, use the single recipe.
4 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. tobasco sauce
1 bunch romaine lettuce, chopped
1 (11oz.) can mandarin oranges
1 red onion, sliced and separated into rings
In a medium skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of sugar and add almonds. Mix well until the nuts are coated. Cool and break apart.
In a jar, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, vegetable oil, vinegar, parsley, salt, pepper, and tobasco sauce. Shake well and set aside.
In a large bowl toss the lettuce, oranges, nuts and onions. Dress the salad just before serving. Serves 4-6 people.
