Crunchy Romaine Toss
SUBMITTED BY:
Bissy Crosby
"As the soup simmers I throw together Crunchy Romaine Toss,' she notes. Ramen noodles, broccoli and nuts get a unique treatment in this salad from a sweet-tart dressing. 'Guests always ask for the recipe,' she says."

I could have eaten the whole salad. I used one bag of packaged romaine lettuce, 2 green onions, same amount of broccoli and almonds instead of walnuts for a family of 4. The dressing is definitely sweet. You could prbably decrease the amount of sugar but I would start off making the original recipe first and go from there. I loved the "crunchies" for the top of the salad.

Excellent and impressive salad. Very easy. Break the ramen noodles into small pieces. If you don't, and you leave some larger piece, the small ones will burn/get more brown than the larger ones. Speaking from experience because I thought it would be better with a few larger pieces; don't, keep them small. I liked the idea of sliced almonds though I didn't saute them. They're better sliced because they don't sink to the bottom. I thought the salad was a little too wet so I use more lettuce than suggested. You can also make the dressing ahead of time which I recommend so there isn't that gritty sugar texture.

This salad is excellent! Made it on the spur of the moment, didn't have the Romaine and used iceberg instead - it was crunchy and delicious. I read the other reviews and was careful with the noodles, used almonds instead of walnuts, and it turned out divine. I loved it, will definitely made this one again and again - thanks so much for sharing!

I love this recipe! I usually make 1-1/2 times the dressing, and sometimes use a prepackaged bag of romaine. Also I like to use sliced almonds instead of the walnuts and I brown them in the butter along with the ramen noodles. Excellent!

Unbelievably good and such a nice change from the traditional salad. I added cooked chicken breast to make it a meal and it was fantastic!

So delicious! This salad is made for almost all of my family's parties and it gets gobbled up each time. I would suggest making 1/2 the amount of dressing because sometimes it can get too soggy. Also, I am not a big onion fan, so I always skip those when I'm the one making it.

This salad was DELICIOUS! I cut the amount of sugar in half, used olive oil vs. veggie oil and almonds vs. walnuts, I then only ended up using half of the dressing. I made this salad for my family then a week later for some friends and it was gone both times. Guests passionately raved about the salad. Wolfgang, a carnivore, wouldn’t touch it regardless of the glowing reviews, but that is okay – more for me.
