This Asian Ramen Salad is a family favorite for a reason. Between the fresh, colorful cabbage and the satisfying crunch of toasted noodles and almonds, it is the kind of dish that disappears quickly at any potluck or dinner party. The homemade dressing brings everything together with a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors.

My top tip for this salad is to wait until just before you serve it to add the dressing. This keeps the ramen noodles and vegetables nice and crunchy, which is the best part of the whole experience. If you are prepping ahead of time, keep the dressing in a separate jar until you are ready to eat.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages ramen noodles, flavor packets removed
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 3/4 cup shelled edamame
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Crush the dry ramen noodles and spread them onto a baking sheet along with the sliced almonds.

  3. 3

    Toast in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the noodles and almonds are lightly browned, then set aside to cool.

  4. 4

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, purple cabbage, shredded carrots, green onions, and edamame.

  5. 5

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and sesame seeds.

  6. 6

    Season the dressing with salt and pepper to your liking.

  7. 7

    Add the toasted ramen and almonds to the vegetable mixture, pour the dressing over the top, and toss everything until it is evenly coated.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To keep the salad crisp for as long as possible, store the dressing separately from the salad base. This salad is great on its own or served with grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu for an extra boost of protein.
