Photo: Strawberry Salad Recipe
Ingredients
Salad:
- 1 package ramen noodles, crushed, flavor packet discarded
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
- 1 head romaine lettuce, washed and dried
- One 5-ounce bag baby spinach
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
Dressing:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions
For the salad: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the ramen noodles, almonds, sunflower seeds and melted butter. Transfer to a baking sheet and toast in the oven, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Tear the lettuce and combine with the spinach, strawberries and cheese in a large salad bowl.
For the dressing: Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar. Combine the oil, paprika, salt and garlic and then add to the sugar-vinegar mixture. Mix well and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Just before serving, sprinkle the crunchy topping over the salad green and toss the salad with enough dressing to coat the greens.

This salad is awesome. I've made this twice and the second time I replaced the sugar with Splenda in the dressing and no one noticed. Love the crunchies of the Ramon, sunflower seeds and almonds. As other reviewers suggested, though, next time I will cut down on the butter. Always receive kudos when I make this.

OMG this was the best salad we have ever had! Made it for Easter in New Mexico with family and it was so delicious we made it again 2 days later before we came home.
