Description
You will love this tangy (but slightly sweet) one-big-bowl salad. Great as a potluck or picnic carry-along, too.
Ingredients
- Slivered Almonds
- Sesame Seeds
- Chicken-flavored Ramen Noodles
- Coleslaw Mix
- Lettuce
- Onion
- Imitation Crabmeat
- Canola Oil

Instructions
- Toast nuts and seeds in a cast-iron frying pan on medium heat or in the oven — until golden-brown
- Set aside to cool
- Break ramen noodles into small pieces
- Set aside until just before serving time
- In a large bowl, combine coleslaw, lettuce, onion and crab
- Mix dressing ingredients and the seasoning packet in a pint jar or other container with a lid
- Stir or shake until sugar is mostly dissolved
- At serving time: add nuts and noodles to the salad
- Toss well
- Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss to coat
- Serve immediately
- Leftovers: this salad is really good the next day too, but the ramen will have lost its crunchiness — so add another packet of broken ramen noodles
- Large family / potluck option: add two packets of ramen noodles to stretch it a bit further
- Substitutions: switch out the crab for some cooked chicken breast chunks or even shrimp! add a few tablespoons of finely minced green bell peppers
- Use scallions instead of a large onion
