Box of any noodles [spaghetti noodles work great too!] -
1-2
Romaine hearts, washed and chopped -
1/2

1
Large tomato, washed and diced -
1-2
Bottles of poppy seed dressing
Cook noodles, drain and rinse, then leave to cool in refrigerator – I like to prep the noodles at lunch time so they are nice and chilled by dinner time!
Once noodles have cooled, add all veggies! You don’t have to use the exact veggies – use anything that you like!
Add either 1 to 2 bottles on poppy seed dressing, depending on how saucy you want it to be!
Give it one final chill and you are ready to go!
Super great recipe to eat on its own or as a side throughout the week!

Add the remaining mixture to the prepared pan. Spread the mixture out and using your fingers press into the bottom of the pan so the crust is in an even layer.
To make the Strawberry Filling: to a small bowl add strawberries, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and flour. Toss to combine.

Evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture over the top of the bars.
Bake the bars for 40 minutes. Remove the bars from the pan and let sit for 10 minutes. Cut and serve.
