Sunflower Strawberry Salad Recipes

STRAWBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the ramen noodles, almonds, sunflower seeds and melted butter. Transfer to a baking sheet and toast in the oven, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
• Tear the lettuce and combine with the spinach, strawberries and cheese in a large salad bowl.
• For the dressing: Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar. Combine the oil, paprika, salt and garlic and then add to the sugar-vinegar mixture. Mix well and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Just before serving, sprinkle the crunchy topping over the salad green and toss the salad with enough dressing to coat the greens.
