Dolores Brignac's family was skeptical the first time she served this unusual salad-but one taste convinced them it was a winner. "Now when I bring it out, everyone digs in and cleans their plates," she pens from Braithwaite, Louisiana.

1 package (3 ounces) ramen noodles
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup butter, cubed
6 cups torn romaine
4 cups broccoli florets

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Break noodles into small pieces (save seasoning envelope for another use). In a skillet over medium heat, saute noodles and walnuts in butter for 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool.
In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine, broccoli, tomatoes and onions. Place dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor; cover and process until sugar is dissolved. Add dressing and noodle mixture to salad; toss to coat. Serve with a slotted spoon.

We loved trying this recipe! I served it on the side with Asian Chicken thighs and it was completely gone before I left the table. Not a drop left! 5-stars! I will make this again.
