Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crunchy Ramen Salad with Walnuts.
Step 1
Start by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the crushed ramen noodles and chopped walnuts. Stir them together and toast for about 5 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown. This step adds a wonderful crunch to your salad!
Step 2
Once toasted, transfer the mixture to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess butter. Let it cool while you prepare the dressing and vegetables.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, white sugar, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. This dressing is the secret to bringing all the flavors together!
Step 4
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooled ramen noodle and walnut mixture with the chopped romaine lettuce, coarsely chopped broccoli, and chopped green onions. The vibrant colors of the veggies will make your salad pop!
Step 5
Finally, pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated. Serve immediately for the best crunch, or let it chill in the fridge for a bit to meld the flavors.
