Ingredients

  • 1 head romaine lettuce - rinsed, dried and chopped

  • 2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained

  • 6 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • ½ cup sliced almonds

  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, oranges and green onions.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons sugar with the almonds in saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir while sugar starts to melt and coat almonds. Stir constantly until almonds are light brown. Turn onto a plate, and cool for 10 minutes.

  3. Combine red wine vinegar, olive oil, one tablespoon sugar, red pepper flakes and black pepper in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake vigorously until sugar is dissolved.

  4. Before serving, toss lettuce with salad dressing until coated. Transfer to a decorative serving bowl, and sprinkle with sugared almonds.
