Directions:
In a small pan over medium heat, cook almonds and sugar, stirring constantly until almonds are coated and sugar dissolved. About 10 minutes. Watch carefully as they will burn easily. Cool and store in air-tight container. Mix all dressing ingredients and chill. Mix lettuces, celery and onions. Just before serving add almonds and oranges. Toss with the dressing.

Our changes to this original recipe:
We liked making more almonds to have on hand to make the salad again. They keep well. 1 large pkg of almonds 1 2/3 C
1/2 C + 1 TBSP sugar
Cook as directed above.
Slice the lettuce in small slivers.
The dressing makes the salad watery, add at the last minute.
To save leftover salad, place in colander in the bowl to drain the dressing.
If you are not eating the entire salad, add the almonds and oranges to the individual bowls of lettuce.
