This salad was our newest member’s first salad. It had crunchy ramen noodles, which I love. Be sure and store the crunchy ramen in a separate container if not making immediately, so that they stay crunchy.
This recipe is like a lot of recipes we find, in that it says to use A LOT of sugar. The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of sugar. That is an insane amount to use in less than a cup of liquid. We used significantly less, but adjust this to your liking.
