Description

This Crunchy Ramen Noodle Salad is a delightful blend of textures and flavors. Crisp coleslaw mix paired with toasted ramen noodles, almonds, and sunflower seeds, all tossed in a savory-sweet dressing, creates a perfect balance of crunch and tanginess.


Ingredients

Scale

Coleslaw Mix:

  • 1 (16 oz) bag coleslaw mix

Ramen Noodles:

  • 2 packages ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

Additional Ingredients:

  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • ½ cup shredded carrots (optional)

Dressing:

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Toast: Break ramen noodles into pieces and spread on a baking sheet with almonds and sunflower seeds. Toast for 8–10 minutes until golden, stirring halfway through. Let cool.
  3. Combine: In a large bowl, mix coleslaw, green onions, and carrots if using.
  4. Prepare dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  5. Toss: Just before serving, combine slaw mixture with toasted ramen mixture and dressing until coated.

Notes

  • For extra protein, add grilled chicken, edamame, or tofu.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh to maintain its crunch. To make ahead, store toasted noodles and dressing separately and mix just before serving.
