Ingredients
-
-
1/4 cup sliced almonds
-
1/4 cup sesame seeds
-
8 green onions, finely sliced
-
1 head green cabbage, finely chopped
-
2 (3 ounce) packages chicken-flavored ramen noodles (break up noodles in package)
-
-
1/4 cup white sugar
-
1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground if possible)
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 cup oil (I prefer Canola oil)
-
2 tablespoons oil
Instructions
- Dressing:
- Mix sugar, rice vinegar and salt together in small saucepan. Heat over medium until sugar and salt dissolve. Let mixture cool and then combine with remaining dressing ingredients. Set aside.
- Salad:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in skillet. Toast almonds and sesame seeds until lightly browned. Combine with onions, cabbage, and dressing. Approximately 30 minutes before serving, crush ramen noodles in their package and combine with salad.
- Note: This salad is best if you make it the night before you plan on serving it. The sweet and salty flavors develop overnight and although the cabbage softens a bit, it still retains it's crunchy texture. A good summer salad for picnics since it travels well and doesn't contain mayonaise.
