Summer’s Salad is Here!

April 17, 2012 By Shannah 19 Comments

Ok, you know I’m all about sharing with you tasty {but easy} recipes! I’m bringing this one out just in time for all the upcoming Spring and Summer picnics and potlucks. Why? 
 Because it P-E-R-F-E-C-T for them. 
 It’s an easy to throw together salad that holds up well!

What do you need to make it?

Cabbage (I use a mixture of napa and green. Or, when I’m lazy, I just pick up a bag of cole slaw mix)
Slivered almonds
Green onions
Sesame seeds
1 package of oriental flavored ramen
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp sesame oil

Now, let’s get cooking!

The first thing I do is turn is the oven on to 325 degrees. This way, I can toast my almonds and sesame seeds while I chop up my cabbage. Somewhere between 5-10 minutes is usually good on both the nuts and seeds.

I rinse my cabbage before I chop it {of course} but then also rinse and spin it after it is chopped.

Green onions get sliced up.
Now, take out the ramen seasoning packet and break up the noodles into small pieces.
In big bowl, toss together the cabbage, nuts, seeds, green onions and ramen noodles.
**Whenever I plan to serve this more than 30 minutes after I make it, I toss the green onions into the cabbage but keep that separate from the other ingredients. I go ahead and combine the nuts, sesame seeds and ramen too.**

Now, it’s dressing time! Mix your ramen seasoning packet, rice vinegar, sugar and sesame oil. Give it a good whisking {or shaking if you prefer}.
Now, about 30 minutes or so before you are ready to serve this deliciousness, toss it all together.

Yummy…salad perfection! Even Mathlete, who pretty much hates salad, will eat this!

    This is a favourite salad at our place too. We have it at least once a fortnight! I sometimes add a bit of coriander (cilantro) to give it a Thai flavour. It really is a great recipe!

    If you have a minute to spare my weekly Say G’Day linky party is in full swing and I would be so thrilled if you could join in and link up this yummy post!

    Best wishes,
    Natasha in Oz
