Nappa Salad........

This is a salad that I often make to take to parties and reunions, mainly because it is so easy to make, and because people enjoy it so much.
The Ingredients:
1 head Nappa lettuce
1 bunch green onions
Toppings:
2 packages Ramen noodles
1 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cups seseame seeds
1 cup sunflower seeds
enough oil to cook topping in
Dressing:
1 cup olive oil
1 cup honey
1/2 cup vinegar (apple cider vinegar tastes best!)
1 teaspoon salt
First of all, I usually start the toppings, so they can cook while I make the salad.
Break up the ramen noodles, put all the ingredients in a pan.

Then pour oil over it. Turn the pan on and cook the toppings slowly--that way they don't burn.
After that, I cut up the lettuce and onions.

Now for the dressing. Measure out the liquids and put in the salt, then whisk together.
If you are taking the salad to a party, take the dressing, toppings, and lettuce separately and put together there.

Enjoy!

P.S. People sometimes ask where to get Nappa lettuce. We get ours from the local grocery. Sometimes it is called oriental cabbage. For the topping, we often use other nuts besides or with the ones listed. Here we used pecans.
