Ramen Noodle Salad

Last fall my friend Stephanie and I found a great restaurant in the Bayview area called Cafe Lulu. At Lulu's they serve all kinds of eclectic dishes ranging from Mexican, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern.....with Ramen Noodle Salad on the side of everything!

I remember the first time I ever heard of "Ramen Noodle Salad" because my first thought was "yuck that sounds gross" because I hate(d) Ramen Noodles. But upon trying it, I immediately fell in love. So imagine how happy I was to find a restaurant that served it! But now that I've moved away had to figure out how to satisfy my Ramen Noodle Salad fix.

Which means cooking it myself! So here is a recipe I tried, I'm still tweaking it a bit because it's got a lot of sugar and oil in it but here it is for now. I also want some red cabbage to the recipe but all the cole slaw mixes I find don't have any, I guess I'll have to find it by itself so I can color up my salad! Leave your suggestions in the comments and maybe we'll come up with an extremely flavorful and lower calorie delicious salad!

Ramen Noodle Salad
Ingredients
Dressing:
1/3 cups canola oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 chicken seasoning from Ramen Noodles

Salad:
1 pkg. cole slaw mix
1 large bunch of green onions (chopped)
1 cup almonds (I prefer whole almonds but you can do chopped or slices)
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 pkg. chicken Ramen Noodles (broken up)

1. Mix up the salad dressing before hand so the flavors can blend together, the longer you let it sit the more flavorful it becomes.
2. Toast the sunflower seeds, the almonds, and the broken Ramen Noodle pieces.
3. Mix all ingredients together and serve.
4. Enjoy it while it lasts because it's so yummy it'll go very quickly!
