Crunchy Romaine Strawberry Salad
By tearing the lettuce instead of chopping it, it makes nicer pieces for the salad.
- 1 package ramen noodles
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup sugar (or less, to taste)
- 2 Tbs red wine vinegar
- 8 cups torn pieces of romaine lettuce (washed)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Discard seasoning packet from ramen noodles or save for another use. Break noodles into small pieces. In a skillet, saute noodles and walnuts in butter for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden; cool.
For dressing, in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, sugar, vinegar and soy sauce; shake well. Just before serving combine the romaine, onions, strawberries and noodle mixture in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently. Makes 8 servings. Enjoy!
