Ramen Noodle Salad

I got this recipe in college from my roommate, Shantae. It has been my favorite salad ever since. Don't make any substitutions or leave anything out, it will not be as good.

1 large head romaine lettuce

4 green onions (chopped)

2 Tab. sesame seeds

1 3oz. package Chicken flavored Ramen (crushed)

1/2 c. slivered almonds

In a large bowl, combine noodles,  onions, sesames seeds, almonds and lettuce. Toss with dressing just before serving.

Dressing:

1 chicken flavor packet (from the Ramen noodles)

3 Tab. white vinegar 

2 Tab. sugar

2 Tab. canola oil

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1/4 tsp. salt

Combine all ingredients and shake or stir to mix well. Pour over salad and toss. 

This salad does not keep well, so it must be devoured immediately, which should be no problem since it is absolutely delicious. We like this salad so much it has been our main dish at dinner on many occasions.

Cooked Play Dough

1 c. flour

1 Tab. oil
1 c. water
1/2 c. salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
food coloring (can be added before cooking or while kneading) or *Kool Aid

  *Kool Aid adds color and a fun scent I used grape for this batch

Mix dry ingredients (including kool aid if you are using it) together in a medium saucepan. Add wet ingredients and mix together. Cook over low to medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until it forms into a ball. (No more than five minutes) Knead until smooth. Store in an airtight container or refrigerate.
