    CARAMELIZED ALMONDS
    2 tsp. butter
    1/3 cup slivered almonds
    2 Tblsp. brown sugar


    2 heads butter lettuce, washed and
    torn into bite-sized pieces
    1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

    2 cans (11 ounces each) mandarin oranges, drained

    To caramelize the almonds: Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and saute until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the brown sugar and stir to combine. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet, separating them. Set aside to cool. When completely cooled, the almonds will have a hard, candied coating.

    To assemble the salad: In a large bowl, toss the lettuce with the red onion, blue cheese, mandarin oranges, and dressing to taste. Sprinkle the almonds over the salad and serve immediately.
