Mandarin Chicken Salad from Esther Dick

Ingredients:
1/2 cup sliced almonds       1 cup chopped celery
3 Tbl. sugar                       2 green onions chopped
1/2 head romaine lettuce or other choice of green lettuce

 2 cans mandarin oranges
1 bag baby spinach            
3 chicken breasts, cooked and cut in small bites
Dressing:
1/2 cup peanut oil             4 TBL sugar
4 TBL red wine vinegar       1 tsp salt
dash pepper                     1 TBL parsley


Directions:
Carmelize the almonds by stirring almonds and sugar over high heat until sugar crystallizes and almonds turn toasty brown.   Make salad and add almonds and mandarin oranges on top after tossing the salad with dressing.

Number Of Servings:about 12





I could eat this salad. every.day!  It is THAT good.  You can omit the chicken and eat it as a side or add the chicken and make it a meal.  This would also taste great with chicken nuggets, fish like salmon, and probably more!
