My mother taught me how to cook when I was a young girl. The sweet tangerines and crunchy caramelized almonds make this one of my favorite recipes. —Helen Musenbrock, O'Fallon, Missouri

    Excellent salad. I chopped whole almonds because that’s what I had. The dressing was wonderful, and something I’ll make to put on other salads now, too.

    This was a big hit with my family. The almonds were delicious. I definitely will make this again. I have already had a family member ask for the recipe!
