I get a lot of people asking for my scrumptious salad recipe I've made for different things, so I am going to post it below. It is definitely yummy and easy to make. Make sure to add the dressing slowly because it usually doesn't need all of it- depending on the the amount of lettuce and your taste preferences.

Scrumptious Salad


Favorite Bag O’ Salad (We like Romaine or Spinach or both)
¾ Cup Craisins
1 Cup Almond Slivers
¼ Cup Sugar


Dressing Ingredients:
3 Tbsp. Sugar or Honey
1 tsp. Salt
¼ Cup Salad Oil
2 Tbsp. Vinegar


Mix up Dressing Ingredients, shake,  and refrigerate.  I  shake it whenever I get into the fridge.  For sugar to dissolve this should be done at least an hour before serving.
Sugar Covered  Almonds:
Place a piece of tinfoil down next to stove to pour the sugar covered almonds on immediately after cooking. Heat frying pan on high to medium high.  Pour Almond Slivers on hot frying pan to roast Almond slivers. This requires babysitting the entire time, use spatula to toss and turn for light browning on the edges. Dump ¼ cup sugar over the Almonds and continue to use spatula to help coat the almonds in the sugar.  You will see the sugar melt instantly and cling to the almonds. Pull off as soon as sugar is melted and clinging.  Pour onto the tinfoil and use spatula to help break up almond clusters. This will be immensely hot, let cool before popping
some in your mouth. I usually make several batches and then store in fridge for next time or for sheer pleasure.
Before Dinner,  Place Lettuce in bowl, coat with well mixed Salad dressing, (for a small bag – don’t use all salad dressing.)  Add portion of craisins and almonds. Stir. Cover top with remaining craisins and almonds.  Serve.

**Not good left over, the dressing dissolves the sugar in the almonds and wilts the lettuce, so make just enough to eat up.
