Salad Ramen
Salad Ramen features cold ramen noodles, tons of colorful, crunchy vegetables, and a fabulously tangy dressing. This cold noodle salad dish has EVERYTHING going for it!
Ingredients
for the vegetables:
- 4 ounces spring greens
- ½ pint grape tomatoes halved
- 1 red bell pepper sliced into thin strips, medium
- 4 ounces carrot shredded
- ½ cucumber English variety, large
- 1 zucchini sliced into matchsticks or coins, medium, green
- ½ red onion sliced thin, large
- 2 green onions chopped
- sweetcorn kernels cut from 2 large ears
for the noodles:
- 12 ounces dried ramen noodles four 3-ounce packages, or 20 ounces fresh
- kosher salt to add to the boiling water when cooking the noodles (I usually throw in a generous tablespoon)
for the dressing:
- ½ cup seasoned rice vinegar
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup lime juice freshly squeezed
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
to serve:
- black pepper freshly ground
- 4 lime wedges
Instructions
- For the vegetables: First prepare all the veggies.
- For the noodles: Cook the noodles in salted water according to package directions. This only takes a few minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Shake the noodles very well to get rid of excess water and then transfer noodles to a large bowl.
- For the dressing: Whisk olive oil, sesame oil, vinegar, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the dressing over the noodles and toss to coat (a tongs works great for this!).
- To serve: Add fresh greens to the bottom of four low wide bowls and then divide noodles among the bowls. Top with vegetables and drizzle with remaining dressing. Add freshly cracked black pepper over the top and a squeeze of fresh lime!
