Ingredients:
Caramelized almonds:

2 tsp. butter
1/3 cup slivered almonds
2 tbs. brown sugar

Salad:

2 heads butter lettuce, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
4 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
2 cans (11 oz. each) mandarin oranges, drained
Girard's Champagne Dressing

Instructions:
1. Caramelize the almonds. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and sauté 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 have a hard, candied coating.

2. 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.
