This is a great, quick salad if you're in the mood for some Asian flair. Sweet, salty, crunchy and refreshing, it's pretty well rounded. Makes an excellent dish for potlucks.
INGREDIENTS:
Chicken Cabbage Salad
1 head of cabbage, chopped
2 chicken breasts, cubed
3-5 green onions (I prefer more)
2 packages of chicken-flavored Ramen Noodles, crushed
sliced almonds, fried in butter and salt
Pineapple or mandarin oranges (optional)
Dressing
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 seasoning packets from the noodles
2-3 tablespoons of sugar
DIRECTIONS:
Combine cabbage, green onions, chicken, and Ramon Noodles. Add the sauce and fried almonds. You may fold in pineapple tidbits or rings (cut up) and mandarin oranges. In addition, we add some pineapple juice to the dressing.
I made this today while watching conference (because we happened to have all the ingredients in the fridge). It was definitely tasty and took only about 15 minutes to throw together.
ReplyDeleteThings i did differently:
1. i doubled the amount of ramen noodles because i like a little more crunch.
2. I also toasted the broken up noodles with the almonds. It was good!
3. Also, we only had beef ramen seasoning, so for the dressing i just put in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to give it some salty flavor. I also added garlic powder and ginger powder.
Overall, tasty, quick and good. :)
