Crunchy Ramen Noodle Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add almonds and sunflower kernels; cook until toasted, about 4 minutes. Cool., In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, onions and red pepper. In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, sugar, pepper, contents of ramen seasoning packets and remaining oil. Pour over salad; toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving. Break noodles into small pieces. Just before serving, stir in noodles, almonds and sunflower kernels.

Steps:

• Put coleslaw mix in a large bowl; add crushed ramen noodles, almonds, sunflower seeds, and green onions. Mix well.
• Pour vinegar into a jar and add seasoning packets from ramen noodles; cover jar and shake until seasoning is mixed into vinegar. Pour dressing over coleslaw mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate for flavors to blend, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Mix all veggies, nuts and fruits together.
• Break up DRY noodles (**do not boil) and add to veggie mix before serving.
• Make dressing. Whisk together all the ingredients listed, until sugar dissolves. Set aside if making ahead.
• At this point you can refrigerate overnight.
• Toss with dressing, serve and top with chicken or shrimp, if desired.

Steps:

• Prepare dressing and set aside.
• Smash noodles of Top Ramen (discard seasoning packets) and brown over medium heat in 3 tbs oil.
• Once noodles have begun to slightly brown, add slivered almonds.
• If you start to brown the Ramen and almonds at the same time, the almonds will burn before the Ramen browns.
• Once the ramen noodles have turned a dark golden brown, remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine cabbage, green onions, chicken and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.
• Add the ramen/almond mixture and stir well.
• Add dressing and stir to coat.
• I generally prepare the dressing right before serving.
• If it sits in the refrigerator too long, it gets very thick and won't remix well.
• Also, this amount of dressing is just the right amount to give the salad a good coating.
• If you are one of those who likes more dressing, I would recommend making 1/2 batch of extra dressing.
• If you plan on eating this left over, keep in mind that the noodles will not stay crunchy.

Steps:

• Combine all the dressing ingredients well. Break up the walnuts & the ramen noodles. In a skillet over med. high heat melt the butter & lightly brown the walnuts with the ramen noodles. Add the sunflower seeds & cook to golden. Drain on paper towels. Let cool. Meanwhile, wash & tear lettuces into a large salad bowl. Cut the bell pepper into thin strips & add to the bowl. Shred or slice the carrot into thin strips & add them to the bowl. Slice the green onions & add them to the bowl. When ready to serve add the dressing & toss well.
