Everything Tossed Salad

This salad is one of my favorites and is very versatile, you can add or take out anything you want!

1/2 c. sliced almonds
3 tbsp. Sugar

Stir these together in a frying pan over medium heat until sugar begins to melt. Keep stirring until almonds are coated and begin to turn golden brown. Spread on foil to cool.

1/2 head green-leafed lettuce
1/2 head romaine lettuce
1 c. chopped celery
4 green onions, chopped
1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 avocado, chopped
1 diced red apple (leave skin on)
1/2 c. dried cranberries
1/2 c. crumbled feta or bleu cheese
3 cooked chicken breasts, chopped (optional, I personally never add chicken unless I was having this as a main course)

Mix all ingredients and toss with dressing

Dressing:
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. Olive oile
2 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley (or 1 tbsp. dried)
4 tbsp. sugar
4 tbsp. red or white wine vinegar (I like red the best, but white is great too!)
