Crunchy Asian Salad

Makes a very large salad- great for parties.

2 heads green lettuce, broken bite size peices
1-2 bunches grn onions chopped
very small red cabbage, shredded
4 carrots, shredded
1 red pepper, chopped
optional cooked chicken chunks
2 Tbsp butter
2 packages of Ramen noodles, broken without sauce powder
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup oil
3 Tbsp soy sauce
Optional Ground Flax seed- I add this to the crunchy noodle mixture after toasting.

Prepare the vegetables and optional chicken and throw together in a large bowl.

Melt the butter in a saucepan and toast the Ramen noodles, then almonds and then sesame seeds. Watch carefully so not to burn.

In a ziploc bag, tupperware, empty jar or salad cruet mix the vinegar, sugar, oil and soy sauce until well mixed.

Pour noodles and nuts over individual salads and dress just before serving.
