Oriental Cabbage Salad
This recipe has been around forever, and actually, my copy came from my MIL which she had copied out of one of the local women's cookbooks ... I treasure it all the more now because I always think of her when I make it and now that she's passed on, well, it's still hard.
Most people like this, even if it's based on cabbage. Just an absolute delicious salad for those summer bbqs!
Bag of coleslaw (or just plain cabbage, shredded, small to medium size head)
8 green onions, sliced thin
1/2 cup peanuts (or other nuts you like), toasted and cooled
1/2 cup sesame seeds, toasted and cooled
2 pkgs ramen noodles, crushed
1/2 red pepper, chopped
Dressing:
4 tbs sugar. You can use a sugar substitute of choice if desired
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil (or oil of choice)
2 tsp salt (I've always used less)
6 tbs rice wine vinegar
*or, you can do like I sometimes do and just use the seasoning packet and omit the salt and pepper*
Place all veggies in a large mixing bowl.
Just before serving, mix in the seeds/nuts, crushed noodles and toss gently with the salad dressing. Serve.
*Feel free to not dress the complete salad. Serve up smaller bowl and replenish as needed (only because the leftovers will be soggy but still yummy!)

you eat raw, uncooked ramen noodles? is that possible?
ReplyDeleteI know ;-) Actually, because you break up the noodles, the dressing and the veggies help them get a little soft. :)
DeleteAfter not having this type of salad for years, I've had it two or three times at potlucks in the last little bit! It's easy and cheap to make and tastes quite good!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was your salad for lunch today, it really looks and sounds wonderful. Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop! I hope you’ll join us again next week!
