Searching for a Salad Recipe

I have one with romaine lettuce, almonds, ramen noodles etc....is that it? If so, I can look for it tomorrow if you remind me.

Gimme a clue about the dressing. Does it sound like maybe ginger-soy-rice wine vinegar minght fit the bill?

Or are ya looking for the version with soy (that I think is too salty)?

Mine doesn't have either of those...if I remember correctly mine is more of a light sweet/sour. Madame and I will confuse you Vicky.

Sorry, I'll bow out. Didn't mean to cause any confusion. Good luck, Vicky.

wassup

A co-worker makes this salad all the time. She gave me the recipe once. If I can find it (big if, and she's on vacation right now so I can't get it from her), I'll post it.

I can't find my friend's recipe (it's probably in a pile of papers somewhere, but who knows which one...), but this recipe seems close, if we're even talking about the same thing:

Crunchy Cabbage Slaw

Ingredients:
1 (3-ounce) package ramen noodle soup mix (I think she used chicken)
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/3 cup canola oil*
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 small green cabbage, shredded
1 small carrot, grated
3 green onions, sliced
Preparation
Remove flavor packet from soup mix, and reserve. Break ramen noodles into pieces, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Add sliced almonds.
Bake at 350°, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes or until toasted. Set aside.

Whisk together reserved flavor packet, oil, vinegar, and sugar in a bowl until blended. Chill 1 hour.

Toss together cabbage, carrot, onions, and dressing in a large bowl. Place noodles around outside edge of cabbage mixture, and top with almonds.

* 1/3 cup vegetable oil may be substituted for canola oil.

Yield
Makes 7 1/2 cups

Someone just posted this in the last couple days, I cant remember who it was but it was on gather.

Madame Donna...I wasn't being rude to you, I was just saying that we were offering several ideas to Vicky. Please come back!! I am so sorry if I offended you!!!

no idea, good luck

Point Karma : Thanks, gave you a 10! Have a great night!

Sorry, I don't do recipes and am of no help ;-)

Here's one I make and it's soooo good -

Romaine lettuce
Toasted walnuts and Ramen noodles uncooked - I toast mine in a frying pan - no oil
Dried cranberries.

Dressing -

I/4 cup oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/8 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup sugar

(You can adjust these ingredients to suit your tastes)

This is so good.

Rachel D. just posted one to Shannon's Cookbook. I am not sure if it's the one your looking for or not.

Good luck!

Oh, Wow! I'm going with Sharon's recipe... I think I've had a similar one and it was divine...

I love this stuff--I have a friend who calls it Samurai salad. Looks like you've got some good recipes.

Janna's sounds like the one......

Thank you for sharing with us at Point Monster

Sorry, I have not a clue but I do love the sounds of Sharon's recipe, -- it sounds delicious!!

Thank you all! I'm going to try making both Janna's and Sharon's versions.

It is delicious. When I make it, I eat it for two days. I love it.

i just made some the other day using sliced up red peppers, carrots, broken up ramen, almonds, raisins and kraft asian sesame dressing thinned out a bit with some olive oil and rice wine vinegar.

any store bought vinegarette will work in a quick pinch for when your feeling lazy, just let sit for a few hours or overnight to hydrate the noodles.

here is the one right off the ramen package....
