Shauna's Citrus Salad

1 large red leaf lettuce, washed, dry, and chill (It really makes a difference)
1 medium red onion
2 cans Mandarin oranges, drained
1 small Jicama, sliced thin
4 oz. sliced almonds
3 Tbsp. sugar

Put almonds and sugar in small pan on medium heat. Add almonds. Cook until coated and toasted. Cool on flat pan so they don’t stick together.
Dressing:
½ tsp. orange peel
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
½ cup canola oil
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. Good Seasons dry Italian dressing mix.
