Christmas Salad

1 head iceberg lettuce

1 head romaine lettuce

2 c. thinly sliced celery

4 green onions, thinly sliced

2 - 11 oz. cans of mandarin oranges

1 large pomegranate (seeds of)

3/4 c. sliced almonds

1/3 c. sugar

 Dressing 

3/4 tsp. salt

1/4 c. sugar

6 drops of Tabasco sauce

2 Tbsp. chopped parsley, fresh (optional)

1 dash pepper

1/4 c. rice vinegar

1/2 c. vegetable oil

 1.  In a small pan on med. low heat, mix sugar and almonds.  Melt (this takes a while and I end up adding a little water) then spread out to cool on a plate.

 2.  Mix all dressings ingredients in blender.

 3.  Mix salad ingredients.  *(Add, oranges, pomegranates, sugar almonds, and dressing just before serving) Salad will go down considerably with dressing on it.
