Delicious Salad

I had this salad at a friend's house and it was delicious! It's very quick to make too.

(Picture coming shortly)

~ 1/4 c. slivered almonds
~ 1 T sugar
In a small, shallow frying pan, caramelize almonds in sugar over medium heat. Cool on tin foil or wax paper. (caramelizing almonds is optional. You can just add slivered almonds for a quicker salad option!)

Dressing:
~ 1 tsp salt
~ 2 T vinegar
~ 2 T sugar
~ 1/4 c. veg. oil
~ 1 T parsley
Combine all ingredients. Drizzle over:
~ 1 head lettuce or spinach
~ 1 c. chopped celery
~ 1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
~ 3 green onions
Sprinkle with almonds and enjoy!
