1 head red leaf or romaine lettuce, torn
Combine red leaf or romaine lettuce, torn spinach, seeded grapes and Mandarin oranges.
In screw-top jar combine oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, chives, curry powder, and soy sauce. Pour some dressing over salad, tossing lightly to coat. Pass remaining dressing. Trim top of salad with toasted slivered almonds and the avocado slices, if desired.
Note: To toast almonds, spread the slivered almonds in a shallow baking pan. Toast nuts in a 300°F oven for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
