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. |
