needed a salad that would keep in the heat-- what a hit this salad was. We enjoyed so much that we couldn't stop eating it. Thank you for the help! sandystuds

Have made this for potluck and received great comments. I substituted rice wine vinegar. I mix with oil and pour over noodle mixture right before serving.

Have made this several times and we do love this salad. I like to lightly toast the slivered almonds before adding to the salad. I've needed to substitute mild rice vinegar for the red wie vinegar if I'm out, and the salad still tastes great. Thank-you for making this recipe available on Zaar.

I make this salad all the time and the kids love it. I use brown sugar instead of white and I use rice vinegar instead of red wine. For added flavor I use more season packages then the noodles. I end up buying a six pack and using 4 packages noodles to 6 seasoning packs. So good and easy and always keeps them guessing what the flavor is.

This is one of my favorite salads. It is very easy to assemble. My suggestions are that you lightly toast the sunflower seeds and almonds before adding to the salad (in a non stick skillet add 1 pat of butter and the nuts, lightly brown them). Also, I prepare the salad with all the ingredients except the ramen noodles several hours before I serve it. Then I add the noodle just before because I like the crunch. This salad keeps very well for several days (but the noodles do get mushy).
