A refreshing salad combining crisp greens, juicy mandarin oranges, and sweet candied almonds, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the sugar, salt, pepper, vinegar, and oil in a saucepan.
Whisking the ingredients together helps to emulsify the dressing for a smoother texture.
Heat the mixture over low heat until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool.
Stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
Cook the almonds with sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until coated.
Spread the almonds on parchment paper to cool and prevent sticking.
Break apart the mixed greens into bite-sized pieces and place them in a salad bowl.
Use a salad spinner to dry the greens thoroughly for better dressing adherence.
Add thinly sliced celery and green onions to the greens.
Slice the celery diagonally for a more elegant presentation.
Toss the greens with the drained mandarin oranges, candied almonds, and cooled dressing.
Toss gently to avoid bruising the greens.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and vibrant salad.
For a decorative touch, garnish with a few whole almonds or orange slices.
