My friend, Stephanie, Facebooked recently that she was chopping away. Hmmm, of course this got me curious. What are you chopping, Stephanie?? Chinese Chicken Salad. I needed the recipe. She understood and kindly handed it over.
Originally the recipe was titled Chinese Chicken Salad. I renamed it Super Simple Summer Chinese Chicken Salad. I know, very inventive. But I had to, the recipe is exactly like it's title.
For my Mama's birthday I planned a day for her and my family at the beach. I brought this salad and it was perfect. Light, cool and refreshing. Enjoy!
Super Simple Summer Chinese Chicken Salad
serves 4-6
1 Med/Large lead of cabbage, chopped (I used ½ head of purple & ½ head of green for the color!)
2-3 green onion, chopped
2 chicken breasts or 2 cups any type of chicken, cooked & diced
2 T sesame seeds
½ cup slivered or chopped almonds
1 package Top Ramen chicken flavored noodles (I used 1 1/2)
2-3 green onion, chopped
2 chicken breasts or 2 cups any type of chicken, cooked & diced
2 T sesame seeds
½ cup slivered or chopped almonds
1 package Top Ramen chicken flavored noodles (I used 1 1/2)
For Dressing:
2 T sugar
3 T vinegar
½ cup oil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 pkg. flavoring from ramen
2 T sugar
3 T vinegar
½ cup oil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 pkg. flavoring from ramen
Mix together cabbage, green onion, and chicken. Brown seeds and nuts and set aside. Crush noodles & add to seeds & nuts. Make dressing and refrigerate separately until ready to serve.
Assemble the night before and chill, if possible. Right before serving, combine cabbage mixture, dressing & crunchy mixture. (So, all the dry ingredients are added right before the dressing, right before serving.) Toss well.
