Crunchy Asian Salad

I loved the flavor but got confused on the ramen noodles...did you cook them first or leave them crunchy in the salad?? Once I cracked them apart and added them and started stirring, I felt like I needed to cook them...so I quickly grabbed as much out as I could and cooked them. It was still amazing and I will for sure make again, just wondering if you are supposed to be eating them crunchy (like the name?) :-)

Husband & I liked it. Fast and easy, simple ingredients. Served it as an entree by adding leftover chicken in place of one package of ramen noodles. Followed a previous reviewer's recommendation to add sugar to taste.

We absolutely love this! Out of all the Oriental Salad recipes I think this is the easiest most flavorful salad to make. My SIL makes a salad that is basically this one but uses the seasoning packet out of the ramen noodles w/vinegar and something else for the dressing and her's doesn't have near the flavor of this one!! I personally through those pkts away. The sodium content is rediculous!! I actually use low-sodium soy sauce and sometimes add chicken! Every time I make this salad I take copies of the recipe with me!

SOO YUMMMM AND SOOOO EASY. We use the packets from the Ramen to season what ever meat we are cooking that night. Also i dont add all the sugar. I whisk that in lastly tasting as i add little at a time. We make this a one bowl type of salad by mixing in any kind of meat. We have added Broccoli as well so so good.

Everybody was asking for the recipe. This recipe goes with everything: from hot dogs to chicken. Definitely a A-plus

Yum! I cut the oil in half, and used splenda instead of sugar. I didn't have any soy sauce, so I used about a tsp. Of the ramen spice packet (beef flavor). I will definitely add this one to my favorites!

Been making this since I received the magazine...best salad EVER!!! We make it about 8 times a year!!!

This is my "go to" potluck salad. It's always a huge hit and I often have to give out the recipe. I replace one bag of coleslaw with a bag of romaine, and sometimes I add mandarin oranges and replace the water and part of the sugar in the dressing with some syrup from the oranges. Yum!

This salad is excellent, but I was concerned with the amount of sugar in the dressing so I replaced the sugar with a 1/2 cup of mandarin orange juice that I reserved from a can of mandarin oranges and I also added the mandarin oranges to the salad. After doing this I would then give it 5 stars :0)

Wow how easy. Love the flavor and the cruchny nuts added and noodles. Used Low Fat Asian Toasted Sesame dressing and what a hit. So easy and asked recipe from holiday gatherings. Will be making again
