2 bunches green leaf lettuce, rinsed, dried and ripped into pieces
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 (3 ounce) can rice noodles (like La Choy)
3 green onions, chopped
Candied Almonds
3/4 cup slivered almonds
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sugar
Dressing
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Make or buy candied almonds.
2
To make candied almonds, melt butter in a small frying pan over medium-low heat.

Rinse and dry lettuce leaves. Rip into bite-sized pieces.
7
Mix together lettuce, green onions, rice noodles, cooled candied almonds, and mandarin oranges.
