Crunchy Ramen Noodle Salad was a staple at every pot luck or family get together we had growing up. It is seriously so quick and easy to make, and really, just addictive.
The crunch of the cabbage and ramen noodles, mixed with diced green onions, and sliced almonds, and tossed in best sweet and savory asian dressing makes for a perfect summer side. I could seriously eat this salad every day in the summer months!
My kids were pretty skeptical at first, but once they tried it, they all loved it!! I like it just the way it is, but you can add shredded carrots or diced peppers if you like. I personally love the simplicity of this recipe just the way it is, and it is just like the ramen salad I ate growing up. I guess I believe some things just don’t need changing!
This recipe is also great for holidays and pot lucks. Its cheap and easy to make and everyone always loves it. I love having super affordable side options like this, especially when I was not prepared to make and take something to a gathering. This certainly won’t break the bank!
I also think its an easy way to get my kids to eat cabbage. This recipe is pretty healthy and is also really good with some grilled tofu on top, or on top of a vegan carrot dog. No matter what you serve it with, just make sure you are making this delicious and easy vegan side!! It is seriously just so good!
