Sweet And Crunchy Garden Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the almonds with 1/4 cup of the sugar in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring as the sugar melts and the almonds brown. Carefully spread the almonds on an ungreased baking sheet to cool, using a metal spatula; the nuts will be very hot. When completely cooled, break the candied almonds into tiny pieces.
• Tear the iceberg and romaine lettuce into pieces and transfer them to a salad bowl. Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
• Combine the oil, vinegar, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and the parsley, salt, pepper and cayenne in a bowl, and mix well. Chill covered, in the refrigerator, until ready to serve.
• Combine the lettuce, sliced green onions, candied almonds and orange segments in a large salad bowl. Just before serving, toss the salad with enough dressing to coat the greens.

Steps:

• Combine the sliced radishes, sliced cucumber, mint and cilantro in a medium bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste, until well combined. Pour the dressing on top of the salad and toss to combine. Place arugula on a serving dish and top with tossed salad. Serve immediately.
