My best salad recipe


It's July, and it's hot, but we still need to eat. So, with excellent timing, Traci at Beneath My Heart is having a salad party!

I'll share with you a salad recipe that always gets rave reviews. Always. It's actually more of a crunchy cole slaw. Whatever you call it, you should try it. It's delicious.

A delicious side salad that is easy to make and good for rave reviews

Aside from a few pantry staples, here's all you'll need to make this yummy side dish:


Here's the recipe.

Crunchy Cole Slaw

Ingredients:

Vegetables
16 oz. cole slaw mix or chopped cabbage
3-6 green onions

Crunchies
1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds
1 package Ramen noodles (chicken or Oriental flavor)

Dressing
1/2 cup oil (I use canola)
3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons sugar (or 3 packets artificial sweetener)
1/2 teaspoon salt
seasoning packet from Ramen noodles

Directions:

Roast almonds and Ramen noodles at 350 degrees until light brown (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside.

Chop green onions. Stir into cabbage.

Whisk dressing ingredients together well.

Toss vegetables, crunchies, and dressing together just before serving.

As I look at this picture I think this salad doesn't look that impressive. But believe me: you should try it. You'll like it. I promise!

  4. This is one of my very favorite dishes to take to a summer potluck or picnic. I use 1/3 cup almonds, 1/3 cup sunflower seeds, and 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds. I love the crunch! You are right that it isn't a pretty salad, but it sure is good!

  9. That is my ALL time favorite salad recipe. We call is Asian Slaw. I like to add sunflower seeds to the top. It's good with a bag of broccoli slaw mixed in, too!

    Happy Summer!!!

  13. I make this with chicken for a great summer supper. I posted my recipe several months ago, but just now changed my menu that I'm working on so we have "Chicken Dish" (what an original name! LOL!) instead of red beans and rice! Thanks for the inspiration! : )

  17. Looks yummy, when you roast the ramen noodles I'm assuming you break them up first? they come in a block don't they? I might have to try this, I like noodles:)
