I've had this salad several time throughout my life--and it was even served at one of my bridal showers. Tonight I co-hosted a wedding shower, and decided to serve this--it was well received. It is great to share with others...for showers, luncheons, bbq's, and any kind of entertaining!
ingredients:
for salad...
2-3 cups chopped/shredded cooked chicken breast (more if you want more chicken or less if you want less)
1 head cabbage, chopped or shredded
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped (optional)
1 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
2 packages ramen noodles, oriental flavored
3 tbsp. oil
for dressing...
3/4 cup vegetable oil or canola oil
4 1/2 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
4 1/2 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 pkg. ramen noodles oriental seasoning
directions:
1. Smash noodles of ramen and brown over medium heat in 3 tbsp. oil. Once noodles begin browning, add almonds (if you start them at the same time, the almonds will burn before the ramen is brown). Remove from heat and set aside.
2. In large bowl, combine cabbage, green onions, chicken and sunflower seeds.
3. Prepare dressing and set aside until you're ready to serve. When ready to serve, add ramen/almond mixture and dressing. Toss well.
If you prepare the dressing too far in advance, it may get thick and wont remix well if refrigerated. If you plan on eating this as left overs, keep in mind that the noodles will not stay crunchy--keep separate until ready to serve.
