1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
fresh ground black pepper

In a large bowl, combine the Romaine, drained oranges, and chopped onions.

Excellent! be sure not to add the dressing until right before serving (dummy me!) as it got really soggy. I used two prepared bags of romaine as it was easier for me. I also added chow mein noodles for added crunch. My family loved this recipe.

Yum! I loved this salad! I have made this salad twice now. The only thing I did different was to "toast" my almonds in the microwave, by ading 1 tbsp of butter along with the sugar and microwaving them for 30 second intervals until they were golden brown. The second time I used Splenda instead of the sugar and it still turned out great!

A quick, refreshing salad to make at the last minute. I used the juice from the mandarin orange can as suggested by another reviewer and toasted the almond slices. The only thing I would change, a personal preference is to add some mayo or dijon mustard to the dressing to make it a little thicker. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
