Asian Salad

I first had this salad many moons ago at a Christmas brunch at a friend's house.  I asked for the recipe and she shared.  I have since made this salad for many a get-together and at almost every one of those get-togethers, I have been asked for the recipe as well.  Most recently, I made it for a cub scout function and was again asked for the recipe.  My husband was ready to tell the mom about this blog, but I had to interrupt to tell him it wasn't on here yet.  He looked genuinely shocked.  The fact is, I have made it a thousand times, but each time, I forget to take a picture of the final product before we zip out of the house or before people arrive at our house.  So, one day, I will add a finished product picture to this page, but in the meantime, it is about time it got posted!  Enjoy!  (And be ready to share the recipe!)

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 head of celery cabbage (I often substitute Romaine and have most recently been using spinach)
  • 3-4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 package Ramen noodles (broken)
  • 1 bag of sweet glazed Almond Accents (there are often newspaper coupons for these)
dressing
  • 1/2 c balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 c vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Mix all dressing ingredients and allow to sit for best results.
  2. Mix greens.  Add Ramen noodles, almonds, and dressing right before serving.
Difficulty: very easy
Time: 15 minutes
