Ingredients:
- 1 package ramen noodles, crushed, flavor packet discarded
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
- 1 head romaine lettuce, washed and dried

Instructions:
- To prepare the salad: Heat the oven to 200 °C. Stir together the ramen noodles, almonds, sunflower seeds, and melted butter in a small bowl. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, for approximately 10 minutes. Take out from the oven and let it cool down.
- Rip the lettuce and mix it with the spinach, strawberries, and cheese in a large salad bowl.
- For the dressing: Stir the sugar into the vinegar until dissolved. Blend the oil, paprika, salt, and garlic together, then add them to the sugar-vinegar mix. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Right before serving, sprinkle the crispy topping on the green salad and gently mix it with enough dressing to cover the greens.
