Hold the mayo! This is a different, refreshing slaw. I found this recipe in 1987 and have been making it and varying it since.
INGREDIENTS:
Salad Ingredients:
1 head green cabbage, sliced thin
OR
2 bags pre-sliced cabbage – I prefer the “Angel Hair” slice
2 green onions, chopped
OR
Substitute equal amount diced Vidalia type onion
2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
2 Tbsp almonds, slivered
1 pkg Ramen style Japanese noodles: before opening bag, crush noodles in the bag to make small bits – discard flavor packet
2 – 5 stalks celery, sliced thinly
1-2 carrots, shredded (optional)
1 tomato, chopped (optional)
Dressing Ingredients:
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp Mrs. Dash original seasoning
2 Tbsp white sugar
1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/3 cup oil – olive or canola
few drops sesame oil
DIRECTIONS
- Mix the salad ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Mix the dressing ingredients together and pour over the salad ingredients.
- Adjust seasoning & vinegar to taste. Sometimes I add more vinegar.
- You will start out with what looks like a huge amount of salad, but as the salad sits, the cabbage & noodles absorb the dressing mixture and shrink down.
- This is good as a side dish with barbequed salmon & rice
- Good leftover too!
