This is an all-time great salad. I have substituted pecans for the walnuts and it is just as good. I take copies of the recipe every time I make it for a putluck because I'm always asked!
This dressing was a bit strong for us. I thought it sounded really good but I don't think this recipe is for us.
Not too sweet and not too sour. I like the crunchiness of this salad.
I made this at our christmas dinner. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. Everyone raved about how good it was. I am glad I tried it. Thanks to whomever shared this recipe!! LSQ
This salad was absolutely delicious! But I had to make some changes to make it lower in fat and sugar: I used Splenda instead of sugar omitted the ramen noodles and butter. I toasted the walnuts in the microwave by itself for a couple of minutes then added a little cooking spray and sprinkled some Splenda on it and let it cool it down before adding to the salad. The green onions really gives a nice flavor to this salad. Thanks!
I used light soy sauce (to reduce sodium) but added 1 additional teaspoon for more asian flavor. Sauted broccoli with the green onions in 1tb olive oil (no butter). Removed and cooled in fridge. Heated the crushed ramen in same pan (no additional oil/butter needed). I left out the nuts; ramen was crunch enough that you dont miss them. Very good. Way too much dressing!! I added a little bit at a time until the lettuce was lightly coated and stored the rest of the dressing for a later time.
I loved this salad though I did make some changes. I used only 1/4 cup oil and the rest water. I used 1/3 cup splenda instead of sugar and I added ginger and garlic powder to add some flavor. I left out the butter altogether. I substituted almonds for walnuts. I used cooked broccoli. It was so flavorful and yummy!
Our Christmas crowd of 21 really enjoyed this salad. I tripled lettuces and had some left but only doubled the dressing and had some left over. Wondering if I could use sugar substitute (like Splenda) in the dressing and might try that next time.
This salad is great! A Friend brought it to dinner and everyone asked for the recipe and then I served it again and everyone wanted the recipe. The flavors balance just perfectly.
