- 3 dashes of hot sauce such as Texas Pete
Ingredients for the salad

- ¼ head lettuce shredded

Notes
I have made this salad using canned mandarin oranges and it's still very good. Just drain the oranges before using. You can also use any variety of lettuces in your salad that you like. And if you're in a real time crunch, you can add jarred Real Bacon Bits.
