Can I Use Beef Raamen Noodles for My Salad

Ramen Noodle Salad is a potluck favorite! This easy salad is a delicious version of a traditional Coleslaw Recipe with crisp cabbage, bean sprouts, shredded carrots and ramen noodles are tossed together in a simple sweet Asian vinaigrette! Top with sunflower seeds or toasted almonds for a delicious nutty crunch!

This easy recipe is perfect taken to any potluck dish or served alongside BBQ Chicken or Asian Beef Skewers!

To Make Ramen Noodle Salad

Ramen Noodle Salad has been a potluck staple for as long as I can remember!  It's an easy (and inexpensive) coleslaw to put together and absolutely everyone loves it!

While it may surprise you, the ramen is added to this salad uncooked.  Once it is dressed it does sit in the fridge for a bit and the noodles soften up creating the perfect texture.  You can use any flavor of noodles you like (chicken or beef are my favorites) but make sure you don't throw away those seasoning packets, they are added to the dressing.

Loaded With Fresh Veggies

We eat a ton of cabbage in our household (since a couple of our go to dishes are Cabbage Roll Soup or Unstuffed Cabbage Casserole).  Of course, this Ramen Noodle Salad is another reason to have a fridge full of cabbage!

I love the crunch fresh cabbage gives this recipe and I most often use amandolin slicerto chop it quickly.  Using a mandolin, shreds the cabbage thinly, slices the red peppers and even juliennes the carrots!

Variations for Ramen Noodle Salad

Cabbage:

• Change green cabbage for your favorite Chinese cabbage or even bok choy.
• Skip the shredding and use a couple of packages of coleslaw mix or even make ramen salad with broccoli slaw.
• Make sure you have about 10 cups of shredded mixture.
• If using the packaged slaw mix, I usually add in some extra carrots.

Vegetables:

• While I use bell peppers and bean sprouts, you can add in other veggies too such as canned baby corn, broccoli florets, mushrooms or even water chestnuts for some crunch.

Dressing:

• Sesame oil packs big flavor (and we add it to stir fries, Asian noodles or dips)!

This Ramen Cabbage Salad is the perfect make ahead dish and will be the first thing gone from your potluck table!
