"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

12 oz. baby spinach

Directions:
Directions:
Place almonds and sugar in a small skillet and cook over medium heat until the sugar melts and the almonds are brown. Remove from heat a spread on waxed paper to cool. Chop and mix all salad ingredients together with the mandarin oranges on the top. In a bottle or jar, mix the salad dressing ingredients well. This dressing is best served as a side to the salad rather than mixing it all at one time. I usually adjust the sugar down and the tabasco up.
