Make the candied almonds by heating the almonds and 3 tbsp sugar in a pan on medium heat. Stir the mixture regularly as the sugar melts and the almonds toast and brown. Once the sugar is completely melted and coated over the almonds, remove from the heat. Pour the candied almonds on a small sheet of aluminum foil and spread out. Once the almonds are cooled, break them apart and set aside.
Make the dressing by mixing the oil, vinegar, remaining sugar, parsley, salt, hot sauce and ground pepper.
Toss spinach, celery, green onions, mandarin oranges and candied almonds with the dressing.
