Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400* In a small bowl mix ramen noodles, almonds, sunflower seeds and melted butter.
Place on baking sheet and toast in oven, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. (watch this carefully, I burned a few batches)
Remove from oven and cool.

Tear lettuce and combine with spinach, strawberries and cheese in a large salad bowl.

Dressing:
Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar, combine the oil, paprika, salt and garlic then add to vinegar mixture. Mix well and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
