Dressing
1/3 cup salad oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
Salad
1/2 cup slivered almonds
3 tablespoons sugar
4 cups torn spinach (or any combination you'd like of romaine, iceburg, spinach etc.)
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup sliced green onion (or sometimes I use red onion)
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained

1
In a jar, combine all ingredients for the dressing.
2
Shake well and refrigerate for at least one hour to blend flavours.
3
(I make it the night before) In a heavy skillet, cook almonds and sugar over medium heat until sugar melts and coats almonds, stirring frequently.
4
Cool.
5
Break apart if necessary.
6
In large bowl, combine spinach, celery and green onions.
7
Just before serving, add almonds and orange segments.
8
Toss gently.
9
Pour dressing over salad and toss.
10
P.S.I always double the amount of almonds because they really add a wonderful flavour to the salad-- and because some mysteriously disappear before they make it to the salad!
