Healthy, delicious ... what more could you ask for?

Spinach Salad

1/2 cup almonds, slivered and chopped

3 Tbsp sugar

1 cup celery, chopped

1 can mandarin oranges (1 oz.), well drained

2 bunches green onion, chopped

1 bunch spinach (large), bite-size pieces

1/2 tsp salt

1 dash pepper to taste

1/4 cup salad oil

1 Tbsp parsley

1 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp vinegar

1 dash Tobasco sauce, to taste

Nuts: In small saucepan, over medium heat, stir almonds and sugar together. Remove from heat when almonds are medium brown (won't be long... these burn easily). Pour onto wax paper or aluminum foil to cool.

Dressing: Mix salt, pepper, salad oil, parsley, sugar, vinegar, Tobasco.

To Serve: Toss almond mixture with greens immediately before serving. Pour dressing over all and toss gently.

Yield: 6 servings.
