Asian Ramen Noodle Salad Recipe
Description
This salad brings together a package of coleslaw mix with crumbled dry ramen noodles for crunch. Sweet canned mandarin oranges and thawed edamame add bursts of color and texture. The combination of green onions, slivered almonds, and black sesame seeds offers additional flavor layers and a nutty element. The dressing blends seasoned rice vinegar, vegetable oil, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and freshly ground black pepper to create a balanced tart, sweet, and nutty touch. After tossing with the dressing, the salad is refrigerated for an hour to let flavors meld and the noodles soften slightly without losing their crunch, resulting in a vibrant, refreshing dish ideal as a side or light main.
