Mandarin Salad

This is my mom's old recipe which is one of my favorites since I love dishes with an Asian flair. It is simple and quick; if you don't feel like chopping and peeling fresh mandarin oranges or oranges, then canned mandarin oranges work fine (be sure to drain can).

fresh torn romaine lettuce
2 fresh mandarin oranges or regular oranges, peeled and chopped (or canned)
1/4 red onion, chopped
5-6 scallions, chopped
1 t. fresh ginger, minced (to taste)
1 large handful alfalfa sprouts
handful sweet and spicy almonds (topping)

Tear up lettuce leaves and add oranges, scallions, and sprouts and toss. Top with fresh ginger and almonds.
