Asian Ramen Salad

You don’t have to bring the standard tossed salad to your next picnic. Uncooked ramen noodles mixed with store-bought coleslaw mix and a tasty dressing make this Asian ramen salad unique and super quick to make.

Breaking the dry noodles into small pieces add a nice crunch to this no-mayo side dish. We ditched the flavor packets inside the packages for complete control over the ingredients. That way, you can use whatever flavor is on hand.

Like any slaw, Asian ramen salad will improve by chilling in the fridge prior to serving.  This salad is great the next day—just note the noodles won’t be as crunchy.
