Ramen Noodle Recipes for Great Salads and Slaws

Ramen noodles can be used for all kinds of great meals. They are economical, easy to use, and they cook up in just a couple of minutes. Ramen noodles are extremely popular in salads and slaws. One popular broccoli slaw dish is likely to show up at nearly potluck. They give a unique texture and flavor to a dish. I've collected lots of yummy salad recipes that include ramen noodles. I'm sure you'll find AT LEAST one ramen noodle salad recipe that you'll love.

The Basic Ramen Coleslaw with Vinegar/Oil/Sugar Dressing 

You can make this popular ramen noodle salad with either cabbage or broccoli slaw.

Barb's Ramen broccoli coleslaw 3This is one of the most popular ramen noodle salad recipes in circulation. It's perfect for a potluck or picnic, because it contains no dairy products and will stay fresh.

Some of the recipes I've found use more oil. Overnight, the noodles will soak up the liquid, and to me, too much oil makes the salad...well, oily.

1/2 cup oil (some recipes call for up to 2/3 cup)
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
seasoning packet from ramen noodles

1 pkg. broccoli slaw mix
1 cup sliced almonds
2 pkg. chicken ramen noodles (broken up)

Mix oil, sugar and vinegar. In large bowl, mix together broccoli mix, almonds and broken ramen noodles. Add dressing and toss. Let stand for a few hours.
