This was brought to our Easter Cookout last night by my BF's mom. It
was an interesting combo - basically, a simple salad (I'm guesing
premade, bagged) of romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, and grape
tomatoes, tossed with a package of uncooked, broken-up ramen noodles.
Dressed with some kind of sweetish dressing. The ramen started off
crispy, like a weird crouton, but eventually softened up from the
dressing.

We ate the leftovers for lunch today (the least soogy parts, anyways),
and the ramen tasted basically the saem as if they'd been cooked. We
topped it with leftover grilled, BBQ sauced mahi-mahi. It made a pretty
good lunch, alongside leftover cornbread and mixed olives.

She tod me that the salad recipe came from a colleague, at a potluck.
It's an unusual salad; I don't know if I'd ever think to make it, but I
might eat it on a potluck table.

Of course, people would say the same thing about the crazy Jello salad
I served yesterday - strawberry jello with crushed pretzels, cream
cheese, cool whip, and sliced strawberries - but it went like crazy.
Gotta love us evil Americans, calling a sugar-and-artificial-coloring
fest like that "salad". Yeah, right. definitely not for the dessert
table. Eat it instead of lettuce anc cukes, just as healthy. But hey,
ya need a jello 'salad' for the southern crowd I had!!!
