1/2 c. slivered almonds, toasted
2 qt. lightly packed salad greens (Boston or mixed. All Bibb lettuce is great)
1/2 c. thinly sliced celery
2 tbsp. chopped parsley
2-3 green onions, thinly sliced
2 cans mandarin oranges, well drained
Salt and pepper, if desired

DRESSING:

1/4 c. salad oil
2 tbsp. white wine vinegar or rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. Tabasco sauce

To toast almonds put in flat pan with a little butter and bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Salt lightly. Set aside.

In salad bowl, combine greens, parsley, celery, and onions. Refrigerate and chill several hours. Shake dressing and pour over greens and mix. Distribute oranges and almonds over top. Salt and pepper, if desired. Toss and serve.

You don't have to be too fussy about amount of salad ingredients. Break lettuce in size to suit you. You may want to cut oranges in two.
