Ramen is not just for college students anymore. These crispy noodles have moved to the potluck circuit with an East-West mix of sweet-tangy crunch. Definitely an 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!

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)

This recipe was amazing! My husband, loved it! I didn't have regular vinegar, so I used Balsamic. Also, I used half the recipe for everything but used the whole recipe for the dressing-it was nice and rich. Next time, I'll make the whole recipe with all of the dressing to see how it is.
