Ingredients
Scale
For the Dressing:
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons Accent
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (suggestion rice wine vinegar)
- 1/2 cup salad oil
For the Salad:
- 1 large head of lettuce (I subbed in a bagged mix with cabbage)
- 4 (or more) green onions
- 4 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 to 2 1/4 ounce package slivered almonds
- 1 cup chow mein noodles
- 5 to 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 can of Mandarin oranges, well drained
Instructions
For the Dressing:
Mix sugar, salt, Accent, vinegar, and oil together till well blended. It will thicken and turn white. Set aside, but mix again before serving.
For the Salad:
In a 325 degree F. oven, toast almonds and sesame seeds on a cookie sheet 10 minutes and cool. (My note: watch closely, stirring as needed, and remove immediately from the oven and cookie sheet once they reach a light golden brown color.)
Tear lettuce, add onions and bacon. Before serving add almonds and seeds and mix with dressing. Add chow mein noodles last. Arrange Mandarin oranges around the salad.
