Steps:
- Arrange chopped lettuce on a platter. Trim a thin slice of orange skin down to the flesh off the top and bottom of the orange. Stand the orange upright and trim off strips of the remaining peel working from top to bottom around the orange. Cut each orange then in 1/2 lengthwise. Slice the 1/2 oranges into 1/2 moon shapes. Arrange the sliced oranges around the chopped romaine. Lightly toast the almonds in a small skillet over moderate heat or in a toaster or conventional oven. Top the romaine and oranges with toasted almonds and chopped tarragon.
- In a small bowl, combine honey, vinegar, orange juice and mustard with a whisk. Stream in the oil while continuing to whisk the dressing to combine it. Pour the dressing evenly over the entire salad platter in a slow, thin stream. Season the salad with salt and pepper. The salad is pretty as is, no tossing.

Tips:

- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and basil, will add a pop of flavor to the salad.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately: Orange almond romaine salad is best served immediately after it is made. The oranges will start to lose their flavor if the salad sits for too long.

Orange almond romaine salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of oranges, almonds, and romaine lettuce is delicious and nutritious. This salad is also very easy to make, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
