Directions
Oriental Chicken Salad with Crunchy Ramen Noodles, This is a salad that even non-cabbage eaters love It is nice and crunchy with great flavor I once took it to a potluck in my apartment complex and then had to put the recipe up on the bulletin board because everyone wanted the recipe!, This salad is fantastic I have made a similar salad for years and my one change would be to use the flavor packets that you discarded to the salad dressing use the chicken flavor ramen and the chicken packet gives that little kick to the flavor , This salad is amazing! My boyfriend really loved it and asked me to make it again just a few days later The second time I made it, I followed other suggestions and added: 1 Tb minced garlic, 2 Tb Bragg Liquid Aminos (tastes exactly like soy sauce but it’s pure healthy nutrients), 1 Tb grated ginger, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup sesame oil I substituted Stevia instead of sugar, fiber cereal sticks instead of ramen, and healthier olive oil instead of canola oil to reduce fat and calories (only 1/4 cup is needed) These changes make it taste even better and cut out the guilt!
