Ramen Oriental Salad

2 heads romaine lettuce
4-6 green onions, finely cut
5 stalks celery finely cut
1 package craisins

1/2 cube butter
2-4 Tbls sugar
1/2 cup raw sesame seeds
2 3-ounce packages Ramen Noodles, break in little pieces throw away seasoning pouch
1 3-ounce Package Slivered Almonds
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds

Dressing
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 Tbls Soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar


Melt 1/2 cube butter. Add sugar, sesame seeds, ramen noodles. slivered almonds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. Saute and brown. Instead of sauteing in a fry pan I put all these ingredients on a cookie sheet and bake on oven until brown. Stir every 15-20 minutes. Keep a close eye because butter will burn fast. COOL. Add to lettuce, celery and craisins.

Dressing
Mix together 3/4 cup olive oil, sugar, vinegar and soy sauce. Mix into the salad only as much as you like. It doesn't need all the dressing. Keep remaining dressing in fridge for another time. Mix dressing to salad just before serving. You can use European lettuce or Field Greens in place of Romain or any mixture of veggies.
