Chinese Chicken Salad


Made this for dinner last night and Matt (he took the leftovers to work to eat for lunch this week) and I loved it. The kids not so much - they did not even like the way it look and would not try it.
Chinese Chicken Salad

1 Head of Cabbage
2 Cans Chicken
Toasted (or regular) Sesame Seeds
Slivered (or sliced) almonds
Green onions
2 packages Oriental Ramen noodles and flavoring
Sugar
Rice Vinegar
Vegetable or Olive Oil
Sesame Oil
Soy Sauce
Salt
Pepper

In large bowl: shred cabbage (half to 3/4 of head). Add and mix 2 cans of chicken (shredded with a fork before adding), 2 TBS sesame seeds, 1/2 cup almonds, 1/4 cup green onions (chopped), and 2 packages Ramen noodles (smashed up, and don't add the flavor, save it for the dressing).

Dressing: mix 4 TBS sugar, 4 TBS rice vinegar, 1 cup vegetable or olive oil, 2 TBS sesame oil, 2 tsp to 2 TBS soy sauce (I put 2 TBS and did not need to add anymore later), 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 2 Oriental Ramen flavoring packages.

Pour dressing over salad mixture. mix it up, chill. It is soggy the day after, and most people do not like it - Matt does. Some people serve it with extra soy sauce.

    I have always wanted that recipe. I know you gave it to me a while ago, but it got lost in the depths of my recipe drawer. Thanks for posting it - it will make the plan for the week.

    I've made this, or something similar to it, and it's delicious! You can trade out the sugar with splenda and it tastes just as fabulous. With a few less calories. Way yummy stuff. Also, I sauteed the Ramen noodles to make them more crunchy. And bought cabbage in a bag - I'm lazy like that :)
