Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 2 whole green onions
  • 1 15 ounce can mandarin oranges, drained

For the Ramen Topping

  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 3 ounce chicken ramen noodles you don't need the seasoning packet
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds

For the Cabbage Salad Dressing

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar or rice vinegar if you have it
  • 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

  • Toast Ramen Topping. Toast ramen noodles, almond slices, and sesame seeds. Using a hammer or a rolling pin break ramen noodles into pieces. I leave the noodles in the original packaging. Save the seasoning packet for another recipe. In a skillet, over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter. Add ramen noodles and sliced almonds. Stir frequently until they are getting browned. Add sesame seeds last because they brown quickly. Set aside.
  • Prepare Salad Ingredients. Thinly slice, or shred purple and green cabbage. Set in a bowl.
  • Assemble Salad. Add drained mandarin oranges. and sliced green onions.
  • Make the dressing. Add oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar to a mason jar. Shake until sugar is dissolved.
  • Toss salad with dressing. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat.
  • Top with ramen noodles. Top the salad just before serving to keep the noodles crunchy.

Notes

To make a main dish salad add grilled chicken!
For a healthier cabbage salad use honey instead of sugar.
