Mandarin Orange Salad

1/4 cup White wine vinegar
1/3 cup Olive Oil
1-1/2 tsp Granulated sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
6 to 8 cups Torn salad greens, such as spinach & romaine
2 Green Onions, sliced
3 Celery hearts, sliced
1 medium Carrot, shredded
11 oz can Mandarin oranges, chilled and drained
1/2 cup Sliced almonds
3 tbsp. Granulated sugar

Combine wine vinegar, oil, sugar and salt. Shake well and chill. In a small skillet cook almonds and sugar over medium-low heat until sugar melts and almonds are coated, stirring frequently. Turn onto foil, let cool and break into small pieces.

Just before serving, combine greens, celery, carrots, green onions and oranges. Shake dressing again and pour over salad; toss to coat. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve.

Note: I sometimes add 2 cans of drained Mandarin Oranges.
