Three-Step Salad

• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 6 cups torn romaine
• 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 cup sliced celery
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir almonds and sugar until almonds are coated and lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Spread the almonds on heavy-duty foil to cool; gently bread apart.
2. In a large salad bowl, combine romaine, oranges, celery and onions. Top with almonds. In a jar with tight-fitting lid, combine the dressing ingredients; shake well. Pour over the salad and toss gently.
