It's July, and it's hot, but we still need to eat. So, with excellent timing, Traci at Beneath My Heart is having a salad party!
I'll share with you a salad recipe that always gets rave reviews. Always. It's actually more of a crunchy cole slaw. Whatever you call it, you should try it. It's delicious.
Aside from a few pantry staples, here's all you'll need to make this yummy side dish:
Here's the recipe.

Vegetables
16 oz. cole slaw mix or chopped cabbage
3-6 green onions

2 Tablespoons sugar (or 3 packets artificial sweetener)

As I look at this picture I think this salad doesn't look that impressive. But believe me: you should try it. You'll like it. I promise!

This is one of my very favorite dishes to take to a summer potluck or picnic. I use 1/3 cup almonds, 1/3 cup sunflower seeds, and 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds. I love the crunch! You are right that it isn't a pretty salad, but it sure is good!
ReplyDeleteyum! i have a similar recipe... always a favorite :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful salad. I love seeing it on the table when we go to a party. It is always delicious!! Thanks for posting it today!
ReplyDeleteRichella that looks so good! I love salad that has something crunchy in it. I'll keep this recipe and give a try next time I buy some coleslaw. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this recipe, it sounds wonderful for these hot and humid July days.
ReplyDeleteThat is my ALL time favorite salad recipe. We call is Asian Slaw. I like to add sunflower seeds to the top. It's good with a bag of broccoli slaw mixed in, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Summer!!!
I love salads! Thanks for the recipe, Richella. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. Oh. my. The crunch sounds so good to me.
ReplyDeleteyay, thank you for reminding me of this yummy salad. I have had it many times at potlucks at church. I have never had the recipe...so a huge THANKS!!!! Making it this sunday for my girls when they come over!
ReplyDeleteI make this with chicken for a great summer supper. I posted my recipe several months ago, but just now changed my menu that I'm working on so we have "Chicken Dish" (what an original name! LOL!) instead of red beans and rice! Thanks for the inspiration! : )
ReplyDeletePS. Just now wondering if you got the email I sent the other day in reply to your question. I've been having major AOL issues, and I want to be sure you received my reply. :s
ReplyDeleteSimple + yummy = perfect salad! Found your blog thru Traci's Salad Party. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this salad. I'll have to make it sometime.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy, when you roast the ramen noodles I'm assuming you break them up first? they come in a block don't they? I might have to try this, I like noodles:)
ReplyDeleteOh I have had that yummy salad at parties before! Never had the recipe so I'm definitely going to give yours a try. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeletethis is one of my very favorite salads. i make it all the time. but i can't wait to try your version. roasting the ramen noodles and almonds sounds like it would really kick it up a notch. thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeletep.s. i appreciate your comment about my bbq chicken salad. try it. it's divine!
