Ingredients: Cathy’s Feast Day Salad or Granna's Huge Green Salad
*** Cut all ingredients in ½ for smaller gathering.
2 -3 heads of Romaine lettuce
1 bunch of green onion
1 head of broccoli
Wash the lettuce & tear into pieces. Chop the broccoli & onion. Mix together and store in air-tight bowl.
2 pkgs Ramen noodles (doesn’t matter what type b/c you throw away the seasoning)
1 pkg chopped walnuts
½ stick butter
Crumble the noodles and add the chopped walnuts. Pour melted butter over this and brown in a 375º oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Drain on a paper towel. Store in a bag until ready to mix with salad greens.
DRESSING: Mix ingredients together and store in a jar until ready to serve on salad. Don’t dress the salad until you are ready to serve; prevents lettuce from becoming soggy.
3 teaspoons soy sauce
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup sugar
Salt & Pepper

Directions:Some hints I have learned over years of making this salad...mainly that it can all be prepared the day before and mixed when you are ready to serve. A great time-saver and easy for traveling.
*** Prepare the veggies ahead. I store mine in a large tupperware bowl lined with paper towels to absorb any moisture. Or you can use gallon-size Ziploc bags. Cover, seal, and refrigerate until ready to mix with crunchies.
***Make the crunchies (noodles & walnuts) the day before and put in a ziploc bag.
*** Mix up a jar of dressing & refrigerate. When you dress your salad start with a small amount and add as necessary to prevent soggy lettuce. |

Notes: This salad got its original name from the faculty at Burnet Middle School. It was a request at every month’s Feast Day. I made it one year for our annual family Christmas....after that it became "Granna's Huge Green Salad". The salad serves a large crowd; so if you don’t have a lot of people you may choose to let each guest put their own dressing on the salad b/c once the dressing goes on; left-overs are “soggy”.
