Ingredients
- 2 packages Instant ramen noodles
- 2 cups Doritos (any flavor of your choice)
- 2 cups Fresh lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Cook the instant ramen noodles according to the package instructions, but do not add the seasoning packets. Once cooked, rinse the noodles under cold water to cool them down and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled ramen noodles, chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Gently crush the Doritos into bite-sized pieces and add them to the mixing bowl. Reserve a small handful for garnishing, if desired.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and top with the reserved crushed Doritos for extra crunch.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy your Cheap Easy and Quick Doritos Ramen Salad!
