Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

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