Caramelized Almonds
2 teaspoons butter
1/3 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Salad
2 heads butter lettuce, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
champagne dressing

1
To caramelize the almonds: Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and saute until golden, about 2 minutes.
2
Add the brown sugar and stir to combine. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet, separating them. Set aside to cool. When completely cooled, the almonds will have a hard, candied coating.
3
To assemble the salad: In a large bowl, toss the lettuce with the red onion, blue cheese, mandarin oranges, and dressing to taste.
4
Sprinkle the almonds over the salad and serve immediately.
