Nell's Cabbage Salad

I liked this. I've tried many of these types of salads. I like them less sweet, so I only used 1 T sugar. Usually with this amount of cabbage, I only use 1 package of Ramen, and I think 1 would have been plenty this time. I didn't toast the noodles or almonds, and I still think it was fine.

This recipe is a great starting point for this salad. I don't like the flavor or texture of the plain ramen, so I toasted those along with the almonds. The dressing seemed to be lacking something, so I added some fresh ground black pepper and that fixed it right up. I cut this recipe in half and used a small bag of coleslaw mix. It needed a little more sugar for my tastes so I gave it a dab more. This recipe uses the little seasoning packet too and that was a bonus as I have several of those from similar salads that didn't. I ate this right away as I like the crunchy bits to stay crunchy. Great little dish! Thanks.

We love this salad! I added grilled chicken to make it a meal. Also subbed a tsp of the oil for sesame oil and added a few drops of soy sauce to give it more of an asian flavor. Delicious!
