MANDARIN LETTUCE SALAD
This is one of my favorite salads to make for a gathering. It can be assembled early and just add the almonds and vinegrette at the last minute and toss. I got the recipie from my sister. It is one of her most recommended recipies. I can even get my carnivourous son to eat this because it's a little sweet :) Honestly, the number of servings is just a guess. Sorry.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy oranges for the best flavor. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a bright, even color.
- Use a sharp knife to segment the oranges. This will help to prevent the segments from breaking apart and will make the salad more attractive.
- If you don't have time to segment the oranges, you can use canned mandarin oranges instead. Be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
- Use a variety of lettuces for added texture and flavor. Romaine, butterhead, and iceberg lettuce all work well in this salad.
- Add other vegetables to the salad, such as cucumbers, carrots, or bell peppers. This will make the salad more colorful and nutritious.
- Use a light dressing, such as a citrus vinaigrette or a honey mustard dressing. This will help to brighten the flavors of the salad without overpowering them.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
