1 head cabbage, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 cup carrots, chopped
1 cup sunflower seeds
2 pkgs Ramon Noodles, beef flavored
1/2 cup Craising (Ocean Spray)
Dressing:
3/4 cup olive oil (light, mild flavor is best)
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup Rice Wine Vinegar
2 seasoning packets from the Ramon Noodles
Mix the cabbage, onion, carrots and craisins together, set in refrigerator to chill.   Mix up the dressing with wire wisk until well blended and smooth, all sugar should be incorporated.    Place in refrigerator.   30 minutes before serving, crumble up the two packages of Ramon Noodles into small pieces, add to salad base.  Add the sunflower seeds to salad base.  Pour dressing over salad and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.   This allows the dressing to soak into the salad and helps to soften up the Ramon noodles as well.   This is light and refreshing.  Very tasty.

1/2 head iceberg lettuce, chopped (romaine is great also!!)
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and broken in pieces
1/4 head cauliflower — sliced and chopped
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/3 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup red onion, sliced thin
Dressing:
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1/2 cup maonaise
2 tablespoons sugar
Mix all together in your favorite serving bowl.  20 minutes prior to serving, add dressing and mix well.  Enjoy!!
Note:  This makes a small serving salad….for larger servings, you can double or triple the recipe.    I like to use Romaine lettuce rather than iceberg, just a personal preference of mine.
