A favorite lettuce salad!
Since this issue is focused on good health, I am sharing one of my favorite salad recipes. I like to serve this when entertaining. It’s from the Minnesota with Love cookbook. I use all romaine lettuce because it’s what I prefer and I add 1/2 tsp of poppy seeds to the dressing. So healthy eating! I hope you enjoy this recipe! Legendary Mandarin Salad: 1/2 cup sliced almonds 3 Tbsp. sugar 1/2 head iceberg lettuce 1/2 head romaine lettuce 1 cup chopped celery 2 whole green onions. sliced thin 1-11 ounce can mandarin oranges, drained Dressing: 1/2 tsp salt Dash of pepper 1/4 cup olive oil or other vegetable oil 1-2 Tbsp. chopped parsley 2 Tbsp. sugar 2 Tbsp vinegar Dash of Tabasco sauce In a small pan, cook almonds and sugar, stirring until almonds are coated and sugar dissolved; spread out on tinfoil and cool. Mix lettuces, celery and onions in salad bowl; refrigerate. Mix all dressing ingredients together, whisk or shake in small jar and chill. Just before serving, add almonds and oranges to lettuce, toss with dressing. Have a great week and stay warm! Hopefully it will warm up in a few weeks!
