Cabbage Salad


Cabbage Salad is one of my favorite recipes! It is quick, easy, yummy, and HEALTHY! It is a great way to fit some vitamin rich ingredients into your diet.

Recipe:

Salad:
1 package Dole Coleslaw mix
6 green onions diced
1 package Top Ramen Noodles: Oriental Flavor
7 oz slivered almonds

Dressing:
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
2 T sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
3 T white vinegar
1 packet oriental flavoring (comes with Oriental Top Ramen)

Combine Coleslaw, diced green onions, and slivered almonds in large bowl. Break ramen noodles into small pieces. Add to the contents of the large bowl. Combine dressing ingredients in a separate bowl. Pour over salad. Mix. Cover bowl or put salad in a tupperware for a couple hours in the fridge.

Comments:
If you would like, you can brown your almonds in 1 T. of butter before adding them to your salad. You can also add 2 T of sesame seeds if you would like. I like to put my ramen in a large ziplock bag and then crush it up by pushing/pounding it against the table. This helps to break it up into small pieces. Over time the salad will decrease in size, as the cabbage becomes marinated in the dressing. It will become more flavored and less vinegary after a couple of hours in the fridge.
