• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 6 Tablespoons peanut oil
• 1/4 cup tarragon vinegar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons grated orange rind
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon

Directions

In a small bowl whisk together oils, vinegar, orange rind, sugar, tarragon, garlic salt, pepper and enough Tabasco to give the dressing a clean edge. Cover and chill for 30 minutes or more, to let the flavor develop. Mix Romaine, onion, mandarin oranges and avocado in a large salad bowl. Just before serving, give the dressing a good stir and toss it well with the salad. Sprinkle with almonds.
