Not Your Regular Mixed Green Salad

1 bag Spring Salad Mix 1 (6-oz.) pkg. slivered almonds
1 head Romaine or Red Leaf 1 (12 oz.) package grated Mozzarella
1 C. Pomegranate Seeds or Craisins

Candy almonds by putting a few TB. of brown sugar in a skillet with a couple of tsp. butter. Heat on medium-high continually tossing nuts with the sugar and butter until the sugar caramelizes. Remove from heat immediately and allow to cool. Toss salad ingredients with dressing sparingly, just before serving (or salad will get soggy). Great festive salad for holidays! (Options: add bacon, chicken or use swiss instead.)

Red Onion Salad Dressing:

1/2 Red Onion, 1 C. coarsely chopped 1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. Sugar 1/2 c. Red Wine Vinegar
2 T. dry mustard 1 c. olive oil

Put all ingredients into blender or food processor and blend until pureed. This dressing makes enough for a lot of salad. Save extra dressing in a sealed container.
