Crunchy Tossed Salad



I LOVE salads and right now this one is my favorite.  Toasting the ramen noodles and pecans makes it so crunchy and flavorful. I love crunch in a salad!!
And you can never go wrong with adding bacon and craisins either. YUM!
Oh.... the dressing is pretty awesome too. I like to keep the dressing and a container of the toasted noodles and pecans on hand to throw on any salad when I want to make a quick meal.
This is the one we had at my daughters wedding and I had a lot of requests for the recipe so here it is.


Crunchy Tossed Salad
Green leaf spinach
1 head romaine lettuce
6 strips bacon fried and crumbled
2 green onions or thinly sliced red onion
1 package chicken flavored ramen noodles
1 cup chopped pecans
 Sprinkle Craisins on top
Toast the ramen noodles and pecans with 1/4 cup melted butter and 1/2 package of the chicken seasoning included in the ramen noodles. Save the remainder of the chicken seasoning for the dressing.
Dressing:
Garlic minced....as much as you like
1/2 package chicken seasoning
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Shake well and add to salad just before serving
