Steps:
- For the vinaigrette: Combine the mandarin syrup, vinegar, canola oil, sesame oil, sesame seeds, ginger and ramen seasoning in a jar. Cover tightly with a lid and shake until emulsified. Hold in the refrigerator. Shake again before using.
- For the salad: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a baking sheet, break up the ramen noodles into small pieces with your hands. Add the almonds and shake the pan to spread everything in an even layer. Bake until the ramen and almonds are a deep golden brown, 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl combine the romaine, broccoli, carrots, oranges and scallions. Toss with enough vinaigrette to lightly coat. Top the salad with the toasted ramen and almonds. Serve immediately.
ROMAINE SALAD WITH CREAMY GARLIC DRESSING
I wish I had a nickel for every time I was either asked to make this salad for a gathering, or asked for the recipe for it! The dressing is irresistable! A good description for this is a Caesar Salad gone balistic. It travels well too; I prepare all the ingredients, except the avocado, and pack in separate containers and just assemble it when I get to my destination. So much of this can be done ahead of time that it makes this recipe an excellent choice for a dinner party. Plan on having copies of the recipe available because you will be asked for them! I found this recipe in the Sunset CookBook of Favorite Recipes II.

Steps:
- Tear lettuce into bite-size pieces, you should have about 12 cups.

- Stir dressing and pour over salad then toss until well mixed.
- *If you are pregnant or nursing, or have a compromised immune system you may want to consider using a purchased pasteurized egg product.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH RYE CRISPS AND LEMON-PECORINO VINAIGRETTE
This is the recipe that got my salad-phobic son to change his tune. A few years ago, we were at Roberta's-the beloved Brooklyn pizza mecca-on a Sunday afternoon and ordered a crunchy romaine salad doused in rich, lemony dressing. Convinced that he'd love it if he only gave it a try, I bribed Jivan into tasting it. (He'd been begging for a guitar.) Poor parenting, perhaps, but it worked! Now he gobbles it up every time I serve it, as does everyone else at the table. This recipe makes much more vinaigrette than you'll need, and that's not an accident. Once you taste it, you'll want a mason jar full of it in your fridge at all times. It keeps for at least a week.

Steps:
- Make the rye crisps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a food processor, pulse the bread until coarse crumbs form. Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet and toss them with the oil, garlic, herbs, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated. Roast the crumbs, tossing occasionally, until they're golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Once cooled, the rye crisps can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- Make the vinaigrette:
- In a mini food processor, pulse all of the ingredients together until they're well combined and the dressing has emulsified. (You can also whisk the dressing by hand.)
- Make the salad:
- Place the lettuce leaves in a large bowl and scatter them with the torn mint. Pour about 3/4 cup (180 ml) of the vinaigrette over the leaves, gently tossing until well coated, adding more dressing if needed. Transfer the salad to a platter and, using a fine grater, grate on additional cheese. Scatter with the rye crisps and remaining mint, and finish with freshly cracked pepper.
