Chinese Salad

By BELDENCLAN

Ingredients

• 2- 7oz bags baby spinach
• 3 green onions (sliced)
• 1 (3-ounce) package of Oriental flavor ramen noodles with seasoning pack
• 1 (6-ounce) package of slivered almonds
• 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 Tablespoons white vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler.
Crumble ramen noodles on to broiler pan, add almonds and sesame seeds and spread even. Broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes, being careful not to over toast. Set aside to cool.

In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine seasoning packet, vegetable oil, sugar, vinegar and salt. Shake well to blend dressing.
(I use half the sugar to reduce the carbs and then omit the salt
because there is a lot of sodium in the seasoning packet).

Place spinach and green onions in a large salad bowl.
Pour dressing over the salad, add the toasted almonds and toss to combine.
