This Almond Orange Salad is my sister-in-law’s recipe — always in demand at family potlucks. It’s really a very good salad. I loved the buttery almonds – they are my favorite part.
Colorful and refreshing.
A good combo of flavors over all. Hope you like it too!

Almond Orange Salad
Ingredients
1⁄2 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon white sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
1⁄2 teaspoon onion flakes
1 can mandarin oranges in juice, well drained
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1⁄2 cup slivered almonds
1 head romaine lettuce, washed and dried
Directions
Tear the lettuce into bite-size pieces and set aside.
Combine the dressing ingredients (oil through to dried onion flakes) and whisk well– you can do this in your processor if you wish.
In a nonstick frying pan, melt the butter and add the brown sugar– over low or med-low heat. Add the slivered almonds and, stirring constantly, allow almonds to candy.
Remove and cool.
Shortly before serving, toss the lettuce with the dressing, drained oranges and candied almonds.
