Hi, this is a family favorite. We call it Aunt Junie's Ramen Salad since Aunt Junie always brings it to our family get togethers. I made it tonight and it was a big hit with our 3 guests. We're having our regular August heatwave here in northeast Oklahoma, just in time for the big pro Golf Tournament in nearby Tulsa. The big news of the day was Tiger Woods being spotted on the green practicing at 6:30 am, and it was around 80 already. I stayed indoors. I don't tolerate that kind of heat very well and we have lots of humidity too. This is a great side dish or you can add cooked cut up chicken, summer sausage, chunks of cheese, etc. to make it a meal in one. Have fun, stay cool & enjoy! — Lynn
