Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 hearts romaine lettuce
- 4 stalks green onions
- 0.5 cups toasted slivered almonds
- 1 cup crispy chow mein noodles
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce hearts. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the salad bowl with the lettuce.
In a small skillet over medium-low heat, lightly toast the slivered almonds for about 4-5 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let them cool before adding to the salad bowl.
Add the crispy chow mein noodles to the bowl with the lettuce and green onions.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, soy sauce, granulated sugar, olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and crunchy romaine toss!
