Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup salad oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
1/2 cup slivered almonds
3 tablespoons sugar
4 cups torn spinach (or any combination you'd like of romaine, iceburg, spinach etc.)
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup sliced green onion (or sometimes I use red onion)
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained

Steps:

  • In a jar, combine all ingredients for the dressing.
  • Shake well and refrigerate for at least one hour to blend flavours.
  • (I make it the night before) In a heavy skillet, cook almonds and sugar over medium heat until sugar melts and coats almonds, stirring frequently.
  • Cool.
  • Break apart if necessary.
  • In large bowl, combine spinach, celery and green onions.
  • Just before serving, add almonds and orange segments.
  • Toss gently.
  • Pour dressing over salad and toss.
  • P.S.I always double the amount of almonds because they really add a wonderful flavour to the salad-- and because some mysteriously disappear before they make it to the salad!
