CRUNCHY ASIAN SESAME SALAD

This salad is great. Light, crunchy and pleasantly nutty. After graduating from college this past May and being home looking for a job I got sick of eating the same things everyday so I threw this together for something lighter. I've included what I use below, but this salad lends itself to be pretty flexible. Would be great with sliced grilled chicken on top or shrimp might be good too, with a little squeeze of lime. One warning: this makes quite a lot of salad so unless you are feeding a crowd I wouldn't put the dressing on all of the salad at once... it won't keep (soggy lettuce, soggy crunchies, etc). A good solution would be to bag up single serving portions in ziplock baggies and then top with dressing and crunchies when ready to serve. You could even put them straight into the bag and shake to mix it up before putting on a plate.

Crunchy Romaine Salad with Sweet Sesame Vinaigrette image

Steps:

For the vinaigrette: Combine the mandarin syrup, vinegar, canola oil, sesame oil, sesame seeds, ginger and ramen seasoning in a jar. Cover tightly with a lid and shake until emulsified. Hold in the refrigerator. Shake again before using.
For the salad: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a baking sheet, break up the ramen noodles into small pieces with your hands. Add the almonds and shake the pan to spread everything in an even layer. Bake until the ramen and almonds are a deep golden brown, 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
In a large bowl combine the romaine, broccoli, carrots, oranges and scallions. Toss with enough vinaigrette to lightly coat. Top the salad with the toasted ramen and almonds. Serve immediately.

Ingredients

1/4 cup mandarin syrup, from canned mandarin oranges in light syrup
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon instant ramen seasoning
One .3-ounce package instant ramen noodles
1 cup sliced almonds
2 romaine hearts, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups broccoli florets, blanched
