Mandarin Orange Salad

Print This Page

This mandarin orange salad is perfect for company or holiday celebrations.
I don't typically like fruit in salads, but this delicious salad is an exception.

It came from Mary Lou who has always been a great friend and mentor. Thanks Mary Lou!

1 head lettuce, washed & torn
4 green onions with tops, cut up
1 can mandarin oranges, drained or 1 fresh orange, cut up.
I like to use the fresh orange best.
1 cup celery, chopped
1 T. minced parsley
4 oz. slivered almonds or 3/4 cup pecans
2 T. sugar
You could also add dried cranberries to this salad.

Dressing:
4 T. sugar
1/2 cup oil
4 T. vinegar
1 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste

1. Carmelize the nuts by heating in a small skillet with 2 T. sugar.
2. Cool & add to lettuce & remaining salad ingredients.
3. Combine dressing ingredients; shake well.
4. Toss salad with dressing just before serving.
Enjoy!
