This salad goes great with Tex Mex Sloppy Joes. Be sure and use sesame oil as the recipe calls for — it’s the secret ingredient.

Makes: 7 servings (1 cup per serving)

Ingredients

  • 4 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 4 scallions, sliced
  • 3-ounce package ramen-style noodle soup mix, uncooked and crushed
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • 1 flavor packet from noodle soup mix
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, toss cabbage, carrots, scallions, and crushed noodles together.
  2. In a nonstick skillet, saute the sesame seeds and almonds over low-medium heat for 2 minutes or until toasted; set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle sesame seeds and almonds over the top of the salad.

    I love this recipe and the fact that is sooo much lighter than other versions I’ve tried. One note for other readers, Nissin makes a product called “Choice Ramen” , (Krogers carries it) we use instead of regular Ramen, it is 95% Fat Free, as the noodles haven’t been fried like in traditional Ramen, and the soup seasoning packet has 25% less sodium

    Hi Theresa -
    I agree, this recipe is much lighter than some but it still has great flavor. It’s one of my husband’s favorite side dishes.
    Thanks for the great tip on Choice Ramen - I’m going to look for it next time I’m at the grocery store.

Got something to say?

  • One small apple has the same number of calories as one Oreo cookie (55). Replace 3 cookies a day with one apple and save 770 calories a week.

  • If you don't have time for a healthy lunch, eat something to hold you over like an apple, orange, or some nuts. Avoid the temptation to go to the vending machine or to the fast food drive through lane.
  • Instead of ice cream, go for sorbet 1/2 cup has only about 100 calories and 0 grams of fat.
