Almond Mandarin Salad

We've been having salad more often for dinner, so this seemed like a good choice.

1/2 pound bacon
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon dry hot mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
1/4 cup olive oil
1 head red leaf lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 bunch green onion, diced
3/4 cup slivered almonds

Directions

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until evenly brown. Drain, cool, and crumble.
To make the dressing, thoroughly blend the vinegar, honey, dry mustard, celery salt, paprika, and olive oil.
Place lettuce, oranges, green onion, bacon, and almonds in a serving bowl. Toss with dressing and serve.

This was good. I like fruit in salad, and the salty bacon went well with the other tastes. Plus, the almonds added a nice crunch. The dressing was kind of like a vinaigrette. The only problem was that I felt like it wasn't a full meal. The only picture I have is on my phone, and I don't know how to get it off without paying the $.20 to send it to Brian.
