Ingredients for Ramen Salad

Ramen noodles: You can use any flavor of instant ramen; I most often use chicken flavor. Save the seasoning packet; it adds great flavor to the dressing!

Cabbage: Use shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix. While you can cut it thinly with a sharp knife, shredding it with either a food processor or mandolin can make this task really easy. Broccoli slaw is another great option. I love adding bean sprouts for a crisp freshness.

Almonds: I love to use slivered almonds. For the best flavor, add them to a dry skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they’re toasted and fragrant. Add or substitute sunflower seeds or sesame seeds for an extra crunch!

Dressing: The dressing is a basic vinaigrette, and adding the seasoning packet from the noodles adds lots of flavor.

Variations

  • Add grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a full meal.
  • Finely chop other veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, or bell peppers.

How to Make Ramen Noodle Salad

  1. In a large bowl, add the cabbage (recipe below).
  2. Break up the noodles and add them to the cabbage mixture.
  3. Combine the dressing ingredients with the seasoning packet and shake in a jar to combine.
  4. Pour dressing over the noodle and cabbage mixture, toss, and refrigerate.

This recipe does not require cooking the ramen noodles. Mix them well ahead of time, and they’ll soak up some of the sauce and soften.

Storing Ramen Noodle Salad

  • Make your ramen noodle salad at least two hours ahead so the noodles can soften in the refrigerator. If you prefer extra crunchy noodles, then assemble just before serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir them before reserving to refresh the flavors again.
