3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

1/4 teaspoon paprika

3 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup blanched slivered almonds (about 3 ounces)

Step 1
Combine onion, cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, sesame seeds and paprika in small bowl. Mix in 2 tablespoons sugar. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add almonds. Stir until almonds begin to color, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over. Stir until sugar melts and begins to turn golden, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer almonds to bowl and cool. (Dressing and almonds can be prepared 4 hours ahead.
