Just before serving, toss in nuts & desired amount of salad dressings. Garnish with mandarin oranges.


Buttered Almonds
6 TBS butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups slivered almonds
Melt butter in frying pan and add sugar until desolved. Add nuts and toast on low heat until they start to turn brown. Remove from heat and cool on cookie sheet. To help absorb the extra butter, transfer to paper towels after the nuts are cool. They can be stored in ziplock bag until ready to eat.

Dressing
1/3 cup vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp mustard
3/4 tsp salt

Blend all ingredients in a blender. One family size salad will only need about 1/2 this dressing recipe. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve - blend again if separation has occurred.
