This is a special recipe for salad that is not a lettuce salad. Great complement for Asian-influenced main dishes such as Teriyaki Pork.

  • 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
  • 1Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4oz slivered almonds
  • 2oz sesame seeds
  • 2 pkg Ramen noodles, broken up (save seasoning packet for later use)
  • 1 can mandarin oranges, drained.

Dressing:

  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp ginger

Place lettuce and green onions in large bowl. Saute oil, almonds, sesame seeds, and noodles in a skillet for about 10 minutes. Cool, then add to salad greens. Meanwhile, combine dressing ingredients in salad cruet. Chill.

Just before serving, toss gently with oranges and dressing.

Serves 4.
