Chinese Cabbage Salad

Let me say that my husband loved this salad and requested it be added to the dinner rotation. I had intended for this to be a side dish, but since I live in Florida and it's ridiculously hot and humid, salads are meals around here. It became a meal when I broiled some marinated chicken cutlets and shredded the chicken to add into the salad.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (3 ounce) package chicken flavored ramen noodles, crushed, seasoning packet reserved
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (16 ounce) package broccoli coleslaw mix
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 4 ounces toasted slivered almonds

    1. In a small saucepan, cook the vinegar and sugar over medium heat until dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in salt, pepper, ramen seasoning packet and oil. Set aside to cool.
    2. In a large bowl, combine the uncooked ramen noodles, broccoli coleslaw mix, and green onions. Pour dressing over salad; toss evenly to coat. Refrigerate until chilled.
    3. Sprinkle with almonds.
