Ingredients:

• Dressing:
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper sauce (or to taste)
• Salad:
• 1 small head iceberg lettuce, torn
• 1 small head romaine lettuce, torn
• 1 cup diced celery
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 can (11 oz) mandarin oranges, drained
• 1/2 cup honey-roasted cashews

Method

Mix dressing ingredients in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. In large salad bowl, combine lettuces, celery, green onion, oranges, and cashews. Pour chilled salad dressing over salad and toss. Serve immediately.

Notes: I learned the secrets of my mother's cherished recipes by watching her cook. Toasting sugared cashews in the old iron skillet is a sweet memory but when I make this salad, I buy Honey Roasted Cashews in the can.

Number of servings: 4-6
