INGREDIENTS
- 8 cups prepared coleslaw mix
- 10 green onions, sliced
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced (or use prepared bag of diced cooked chicken)
- 1 (3ounce)packageTop Ramen noodles , oriental flavor
- 6 ounces slivered almonds(may be toasted)
- 6 ounces sunflower seeds(roasted, salted are very good)
- 1 cupsesame oil (or part sesame, part canola)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
DIRECTIONS
- Boil chicken breasts in hot water until cooked through (about 20 minutes).
- Cool, dice, and put in a zipper bag in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Slice green onions and put in a small zipper bag in refrigerator (unless your kids don’t like them and you leave them out).
- Break up the ramen noodles into small pieces.
- Combine the noodles, almonds and sunflower seeds in a zipper bag; ready for assembly.
- For dressing, combine oil, vinegar, and flavor packet from Ramen noodle package.
- Shake well to combine and store in refrigerator.
- Because I find most sesame oils very heavy, I prefer to use 1-2 tablespoons sesame oil and the rest canola oil.
- When ready to serve, combine the slaw mix and green onions, and chicken in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle noodle/ nut mixture over top.
- Shake dressing and pour over all.
- Toss entire salad well and serve.
- The chicken can be left out for use as a side dish.
- Other flavors of Top Ramen can be used for variety, but oriental is our favorite.
