Ingredients
- Head or two (depending on size of bowl and crowd) of green or red leaf lettuce; washed and hand shredded
- Medium purple onion; peel, wash, and thinly slice (into rings or bite-size pieces)
- 1-2 cans of mandarin oranges; well drained
Place shredded lettuce in bowl, top with onions and mandarins. Sprinkle with sugar glazed almonds. Use a homemade or store bought balsamic vinaigrette for dressing...a raspberry blend is superb
How to make the sugar glazed almonds
In a frying pan toss 1-2 cups of slivered almonds with a few tablespoons of sugar, constantly stir until golden brown (do not leave the pan - they will burn and turn on the fire alarm :). Immediately transfer to a plate until cool.
Options:
Add freshly washed baby spinach for vibrant color and added vitamins.
Substitute or add some in-season berries!
