This Crunchy Romaine Toss is incredibly delicious! We had this at a friend’s house and Chicken Legs LOVED it. He took one bite and said, “This salad is DELICIOUS!” He couldn’t stop talking about it all night. I made sure to get the recipe so I could make it for him at home.
This Crunchy Romaine Toss is super easy to make. Romaine lettuce, broccoli, ramen noodles, walnuts and a sweet and sour dressing that will knock your socks off it is so good! You can prep everything ahead of time and toss it all together right before serving. I kept everything in the refrigerator separately so we could have a salad with lunch or dinner all week.
This salad is great for dinner parties or tailgating this Fall. We make this at least once a month. It is great with some grilled chicken thrown on top for a quick lunch or dinner too!

Notes:
Steph
I always sauté the nuts and crushed noodles with butter AND the beef flavor packet from the ramen. So good! I also sub chopped pecans for walnuts and add some chopped green onion. Been making this forever to rave reviews and everyone always asks for the recipe.
Could olive oil be substituted for vegetable oil?
Sounds like that would be fine
I don’t like walnuts. Could I use pecans or cashews instead?
Thanks
sure
Nut allergy here – is this still good minus walnuts?
I’m sure it will be just fine without nuts.
Quick question – are the walnuts toasted or just raw (like you bake with). Thanks! Plan to make this for Memorial Day
I just read this more carefully and see you toast them in butter with the ramen!
I used to make this ALL the time, back in the 90's. Only difference was the addition of a bunch of green onions with the broccoli and lettuce.
This sounds delicious! Thanks, Rocquie
