Ramen Noodle Salad

INGREDIENTS:

1 head iceberg lettuce (cut up)
1 pkg uncooked crushed ramen noodles (any flavor--you won't use the flavor packet)
1/2 c. chopped carrots
1 c. shredded chicken
dehydrated onions (to taste)
sliced almonds (optional)
1 small can mandarin oranges (optional)

DRESSING:

vegetable oil (3/4 c.)
white distilled vinegar (1/4 c.)
soy sauce (7-13 squirts or 4 tbs)
white sugar (1/4 c.)
lemon juice (2 tbs.)
*All measurements are approximations for the dressing. I put them all into a small tupperware and shook it and tasted periodically to see what I needed to add.

DIRECTIONS:

Shake all dressing ingredients until well combined in a jar or small Tupperware. Refrigerate in that container as the oil will separate from the other ingredients when left alone.
Mix all other ingredients in large bowl. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
Pour dressing over salad and serve--chilled or room temperature.

TIPS & TRICKS:

*too much soy sauce--add more lemon juice
*too much vinegar--add more sugar
*Oil serves as the base so you'll want the most of that. You can always add more oil if the flavor is too powerful.
