Asian Ramen Salad
Description
Asian Ramen Salad features broken ramen noodles mixed directly with coleslaw mix, almonds, sesame seeds, and green onions, creating a blend of textures and flavors. The dressing is a blend of olive oil, granulated sugar, white distilled vinegar, and toasted sesame oil that is whisked until combined. Tossing this dressing with the salad coats the ingredients in a slightly sweet and tangy glaze. Because the ramen noodles soften over time after absorbing moisture, this salad is best served fresh or within a few hours of preparation.
The salad’s crisp vegetables and crunchy nuts contrast with the delicate softness that develops in the noodles after dressing, providing a versatile dish suitable for outdoor picnics or casual meals. It complements various Asian-inspired dishes or can be served on its own as a refreshing meal.
To maintain the crunch of the ramen noodles, it’s advisable to keep them separate until just before serving if preparing ahead. This ensures the noodles retain their texture rather than becoming soggy after sitting in the dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 packages ramen noodles 3 ounces each, any flavor
- 16 ounces coleslaw mix
- 1 cup almonds slivered

Instructions
- Open the ramen packets and set aside the seasoning packets for another use. They won’t be used in this recipe. Crumble the ramen into small chunks into a large mixing bowl.

Notes
