With this ramen salad, it is one of those family favorites that we have each time we do family reunions and egg rolls are involved!
But way before our family started adding this salad to the menu my Aunt had made this for my parents and I one time when we were passing by her house for lunch. I could not get enough! It was so good and so tasty! Loved it!
How to make ramen salad?
It’s super simple all you need is:
- ramen (any flavor) my family’s recipe said oriental but I used whatever I had around the house.
- coleslaw – you can definitely buy the package but you can also use fresh cabbage and fresh carrots. I’ve done both before.
- oil and apple cider vinegar – I reduced the amounts a bit based on our taste.
- the original recipe calls for sugar but I was not about to put sugar in my salad, so I left it out.
- green onions – give nice color to the salad as well as flavor
- almonds and sunflower seeds – you want to toast the almonds. I also went with toasted my sunflower seeds. I think you can buy them already roasted but my were not roasted so I had to do it.
Directions:
- Toast the almonds and sunflower seeds, separately for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown.
- Mix together oil, vinegar and ramen seasoning packet.
- Toss together coleslaw, ramen noodles, almonds, sunflower seeds and green onions.
- Pour the dressing over the salad. Mix well.
- Serve and enjoy!
- This can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Actually taste better if made the day before.
