Mandarin Orange Salad

1/2 cup salad oil
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons minced onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1 head of lettuce
1 (11-ounce) can Mandarin oranges, drained
1 (2.8-ounce) can fried onions
1 avocado, sliced

With a whisk, combine oil, vinegar, surgar, minced onion, salt and paprika together. Place lettuce and oranges in a large salad bowl. Right before serving, add the fried, onions and sliced avocado on top. Pour dressing over and serve
Note: I like to prepare and slice the avocado right before serving, so it is fresh and has not begun to turn brown.
