What is everyone having at their 4th of July BBQ?

This is one of my favorites:

Crunchy Romaine Toss

1/2 cup sugar (or splenda)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tsp. soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 (3oz.) package ramen noodles, broken
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups chopped broccoli
1 small head romaine lettuce, torn
4 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the sugar, oil, vinegar, soy sauce, salt and pepper; shake well (I make the dressing early and save in frig). Discard seasoning packet from noodles or save for another use. In a skillet, saute noodles in butter until golden. In a large bowl, combine noodles, broccoli, romaine and onions. Just before serving, toss with dressing and walnuts.
