 This recipe dates back to the 70's, when I was a young mother.  It was given to me by my next door neighbor, she was a really special lady, and a great cook.  This is so simple, but it's excellent.

Greens:

1 head lettuce,  I prefer romaine or butter lettuce
1 can mandarin oranges
6 green onions

Dressing:

1/3 cup oil
3 Tbs. sugar
3 Tbs. white vinegar
3/4 tsp. salt
dash pepper

Topping:

1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 Tbs. sugar
2 tsp. water

Put topping in microwave for 1.5 to 2 minutes to sugar coat.  Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.

Heat dressing in microwave for one minute, immediately pour over greens. Toss, add topping and serve.
