Japanese Chicken Salad

This is a recipe I picked up from a friend many years ago.  Sometimes we make it without the chicken too, just because it tastes so good.  I love the dressing with this salad!  It's a great little meal on a hot summer day! 

1 head lettuce
6 green onions
1 cup cooked chicken, diced
1 pkg Top Ramen noodles (break in bag, don’t use spices)
2 T sesame seeds
½ cup slivered almonds

Brown top ramen, sesame seeds and almonds in 2-3 tablespoons of butter.  Mix with other ingredients

Dressing (add just before serving)
2 T sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup salad oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sesame oil
½ tsp white pepper
