  • FOR THE ORANGE DRESSING:
  • 1 teaspoon Grated Orange Peel
  • ⅓ cups Fresh Orange Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • ½ cups Canola Oil Or Vegetable Oil

  • FOR THE SUGARED ALMONDS:
  • 4 ounces, weight Slivered Almonds

Preparation

To make the dressing, combine dressing ingredients in a blender or shaker jar. Combine well.

To make the sugared almonds, place almonds in a small skillet and sprinkle with sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring until almonds are coated and starting to brown (a nice tan color) and sugar has dissolved. Be careful not to burn it. Allow almonds to cool.

Serve salad tossed with orange dressing and sugared almonds.

I also made this salad for Christmas dinner and it was a huge hit! I took this salad to my in-laws (15 of them!) and I got so many compliments and requests for the recipe. It was so good that it’s now on my list of impressive dishes to take to parties. THANK YOU! They actually said they will have to add this to the list of “must haves” for Christmas dinners from now on. Thanks for making me look good
