Ingredients
Ramen Noodle Salad
- 6 ounces ramen noodles (2 packages)
- ¾ cup sliced almonds
- 16 ounces broccoli slaw mix
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- 3 stalks green onions sliced thin
Asian Dressing
- ⅔ cup olive oil
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- ½ cup rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Break the ramen noodles into small pieces and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Stir in the sliced almonds and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until toasted. Be careful not to burn. Remove from the oven and set aside and cool.
- Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl and whisk to combine. You can also use a blender to mix.
- In a large bowl, combine the broccoli slaw, chopped cilantro, and green onions.
- Pour your desired amount of dressing on the salad and toss.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes so the flavors can mix.
- When ready to serve, top the salad with toasted ramen noodles and almonds.
Notes
- Toast ramen noodles and almonds for richer, more intense flavor.
- Keep toasted ramen and almonds separate until serving. This keeps them crunchy!
- Let the dressed salad marinate for at least 30 minutes. The flavors get way better.
- Use fresh ginger instead of powder. It makes such a difference!
- Discard the ramen seasoning packets. They're super salty and you don't need them.
- Add shredded rotisserie chicken for easy protein boost.
- Try dried cranberries or mandarin oranges for sweet contrast.
- Store dressed salad and toppings separately for best results when meal prepping.
