Almond-Mandarin Orange Tossed Salad

Dressing:
1/4 cup oil
2 TB sugar
2 TB cider vinegar
S&P

Whisk together in a small bowl.

Combine:
Romaine lettuce
Cucumbers
Carrot
Diced avocado
Green onion
1 can mandarin oranges
1 cup candied slivered almonds (to make: cook sugar over med-low heat until liquid.  Add slivered almonds and toss quickly to coat.  Pour onto wax paper to cool.  Break apart and sprinkle into salad.)

Pour dressing over salad, mix to coat, and serve! 

We ate this with spaghetti the other night...I ended up eating more salad than pasta, which is how it should be!  Yum!
