Preparation
Step 1
In 1-quart saucepan, cook almonds and 4 teaspoons sugar over low heat about 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted and almonds are coated; cool and break apart.
2 In tightly covered container, shake all dressing ingredients. Refrigerate until serving time.
3 In large bowl, toss salad ingredients, dressing and almonds. Serve immediately.
Did You Know?: Be sure to tear the greens by hand instead of chopping with a knife. A chemical reaction between the greens and the metal knife will cause the edges of the greens to brown.
