Add in some cooked chicken breast strips also if desired to make this into a main meal.If you don't mind a sweeter dressing then use the amount stated, or reduce by a couple of tablespoons for a less sweeter tasrte, personally I prefer the the sweeter taste! You can use only one package or noodles if desired. Do not add in the dressing until ready to serve the salad! Ingredients:
2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles (coarsley broken, save the flavor package for another recipe) |
1 cup peanuts (coarsley chopped, can use more) |
1 (16 ounce) package shredded coleslaw mix |
6 -7 green onions, chopped |
1 small red bell pepper (sseded and julienned) |
salt and black pepper (optional and to taste) |
mandarin orange segments (any amount to taste) |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
1/4 cup cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 350 degreesPlace the broken noodles and peanuts on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown; cool to room temperature.
2. In a bowl place the coleslaw, green onions, red bell pepper, toasted ramen noodles and peanuts; toss to combine.
3. In a bowl mix the dressing ingredients together until well combined; pour over the salad, then toss to combine.
