Bok Choy Salad

Country Chef's Note:

This recipe has won more praise than any other dish. I think it is because it is so different than the standard salad fair. It is definitely the sugar/candy ramen noodles and the dressing that makes this dish very unique. So do not mix the salad and ramen noodles with the dressing until ready to eat!

Wow,wow,wow!!! This is the most unique side salad I have ever had. Pairs perfectly with BBQ !

Mmmm, this was GOOD!!! We don't eat ramen noodles, so it was just the almonds on top. Added some thinly sliced chopped apple that needed to be used up, and it was delicious. Love the dressing. This was a very easy salad to put together, will definitely go on the rotation! Thanks for posting, Country Chef!

This is addictive! I had some, then had some more, then had some more! Have to admit, I planned on this being just the salad, but it was so wonderful I decided to make the main dish tomorrow. Literally had to force myself to leave enough to photograph tomorrow when I have daylight. So if the photo shows a very small amount, then you know I had to go back and get just one more bite!
