Asian Cabbage Salad

Pretty good salad. Could have used more salad ingredients. Loved the dressing.

This is almost identical to the Cabbage Salad recipe in the Canadian book Company’s Coming - Holiday Entertaining by Jean Pare. The only thing really missing is the flavour packet from the ramen noodles in the dressing!

I was excited to try this but found it kinda fell flat kids also didn't like it. I think the dressing could use some improving, kids complained olive oil taste was too prominent

I added green onions and a shredded chicken breast.

2.2.20 I thought the dressing was a little weak in flavor, so I did add a bit more sesame oil, rice vinegar, and a splash of soy sauce. We’re not into too much sweetness these days, so I cut the sugar back a bit, and then the dressing was just about perfect for our taste. I used black sesame seeds to give this a little more eye appeal, and you really could see them. I will use one tablespoon of sesame seeds next time instead of two, but this was a very nice side dish to sous vide teriyaki london broil and chili-glazed grilled fresh pineapple.

Chinese Cabbage Salad Haiku: "What flavor ramen?? Wouldn't that affect the taste? Also, it's too sweet." Recipe doesn't indicate what flavor ramen to use so w/ my pantry choices of Oriental (tried and true packet of blue, college memories of Veg-all cans mixing w/ you) or Chicken (ahh, good ol' orange's always good, for cheap college late-night food), I went w/ Oriental, and that seasoning seemed to jive well w/ this recipe. Also made this even easier by using a bag of coleslaw mix, but OHNO, this was cloyingly sweet w/ 2 TB sugar and we had a tough time eating it, and even more disappointing to throw so many leftovers away. If I made this again, I would drop the sugar entirely!

This was a perfect side dish to our pot stickers last night. I love the asian flavors (I used the shrimp flavored Ramen Noodles/spice packet). I did need to add a bit more rice vinegar and I used 1 tsp of sesame oil, to have enough dressing to coat the amount of cabbage that I had (I didn't really measure my cabbage though, just used 1/2 of a small head that I had in my frig to use up). I also added a few green onions cut on the diagonal, just for an added touch of color). Will make again.

Very good and very easy. I followed the recipe just as instructed and as other reviewers did I also added green onions, chicken and some tosted almonds. My wife and I loved it. As my wife took her first she said, "Oh I love it" Needless to say we will have this again real soon. One additional note: Make sure that you make the dressing at least one hour before and stirring several times making sure that the dressing is well blended before adding to the salad.
