Crunchy Asian Salad
Looking for a great salad to serve on the side at a BBQ? This is it!
This salad takes very little time to throw together and is a favorite of all. I love the crunch of the ramen noodles and the flavor of the dressing is the best! Don’t judge this salad by the picture! I made this for a big BBQ that we went to this week and wasn’t able to take a decent picture. It was very tasty, none the less. It makes quite a bit so if you are making it for just your family, I would suggest cutting it in half.
SALAD
3 packages Ramen noodles – Oriental flavor
1/2 cup sliced, blanched or slivered almonds
1/4 – 1/3 cup sesame seeds
Crunch noodles while still in the package. Toast crunched noodles and almonds in a dry fry pan until slightly brown. Add sesame seeds. Watch VERY CAREFULLY – the seeds burn very quickly!!!
Remove from heat. Add 1/2 of the flavor packets from the Ramen.
1 head of cabbage, shredded or 2 bags of cole slaw – I like using the cole slaw package because it is easy and it is pretty!
1/2 bunch green onions, finely chopped
Mix cabbage and green onions.
DRESSING
1 1/2 T. soy sauce
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp. pepper
2/3 cup oil
1/4 cup sugar
Mix dressing ingredients well. Chill. Toss with cabbage mixture just before serving.
