Key ingredients for this Crunchy Ramen and Sesame Salad.
The lettuce- You can use whatever you want or have on hand. For the greens, I used a mix of lettuce for the texture. Super crunchy romaine and softer spring mix is a good balance.
Avacado- This salad is all about texture. The perfect mix of creaminess from the avocado and the crunch from the ramen.
Peanuts- This is an optional ingredient. However, it’s a perfect addition to this salad. Give them a quick chop and toss them in!
Nailing the Salad dressing.
This salad dressing should be a blog post in and of its own. It hits all the marks for me. Sweet, acidic, nutty and salty are the descriptions of my perfect salad dressing. But here’s a tip to make sure yours comes out just as delicious as mine.
1) No need for a bowl and a whisk. A large mason jar and some elbow grease will do that trick every time. Store it for up to a week in the fridge; if it splits, give it another shake, and you’re good to go!
2) Honey can be tough to work with. To make it easier on yourself, gently heat your honey; it’ll dissolve much easier. Heating honey also changes the flavour, making it richer and more rounder.
Toasting the ramen.
The key to getting the best-tasting ramen is keeping the chunks and bits around the same size. Your pan should be on medium heat with a touch of oil. Make sure to keep your pan moving to prevent any of the chunks from burning.
