Strawberry Walnut Salad

If you love salads you HAVE to try this recipe.  It is DE-LISH!!!!!!

Here's what you need.

1 package ramen noodles

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup canola oil

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 tsp soy sauce

1 cucumber

6 cups torn romaine lettuce

2 cups fresh spinach

1/2 cup chopped green onion

2 cups sliced strawberries

Baby carrots to garnish

Break the ramen noodles up {don't use the seasoning packet...save it for a casserole or another dish}.  Melt butter over medium heat, add noodles and walnuts and cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from heat and set aside.  

Toss lettuce, spinach, and green onion together.  Also add the cucumber if you chop it.  You can make a bowl by thinly slicing your cucumber lengthwise.  I used 2 slices to make the bowl and used a toothpick to hold it together.

For the dressing whisk together the sugar, canola oil, red wine vinegar, and the soy sauce until well blended.  Let set for a few minutes and whisk again.

Fill your bowl OR your plate with the greens.  Top greens with noodle and walnut mixture.  Then top with strawberries and add a few carrots.  Drizzle with dressing.

Enjoy!!!
