Ingredients
For the Dressing:

- 2 green onions chopped
- 2 talks celery diced
- 1 can mandarin oranges 15 ounce, drained
Instructions

- To assemble salad, chop lettuce and place in large bowl, Add green onions, celery and oranges. Top with sugared nuts. Drizzle with dressing right before serving. ENJOY
Notes
- Make it a meal: This salad makes a great foundation for a light lunch or dinner. Add grilled salmon, shredded chicken or tofu for a nourishing and filling meal.
- Need less spice? Reduce the amount of tabasco sauce to your liking. My family loves the heat in the dressing but it tastes good with just a couple of drops of hot sauce too.
- Make the dressing first. The flavors have time to mingle and combine while you get everything else ready for the salad. You can even make it a few hours ahead of time to make meal time easier.
- Change it up. Hate green onions? Feel free to swap them out for red or white onion. Want to add some cucumber? Go for it. This salad is delicious made with spinach or other leafy greens as well.
