Looking for something fun to top a salad? It’s a great alternative to croutons. You can use different nuts (try cashews, walnuts, or pecans that have been coarsely chopped) to suit your family’s tastes.
1 package ramen noodles, any flavor
¼ cup butter
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup slivered almonds
In a medium sized frying pan, melt butter. Crush uncooked ramen noodles and discard seasoning packet. Place ramen noodles and nuts into pan with melted butter and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until noodles have browned.
Remove from heat and pour mixture onto a couple of layers of paper towels to absorb excess butter. Store in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 10 days. Serve over salads or soup.
