Sweet & Sour Vinaigrette {Option #2}

  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar

  • Dash of salt & pepper, to taste
Top Ramen Coleslaw

  • Vinaigrette, to taste
Instructions
Top Ramen Vinaigrette OR Sweet & Sour Vinaigrette
  1. Whisk the dressing ingredients until they are combined.
  2. If making the vinaigrette with low oil, I recommend doubling or tripling the recipe so that there is enough dressing for all of the slaw.
Top Ramen Coleslaw
  1. Pound the ramen noodles into small bits while it is still in the package.
  2. Spread the crushed noodles onto a cookie sheet and sprinkle the almonds over the top.
  3. Broil the noodle/almond mixture until toasted, constantly watching to prevent burning. It will only take a couple of minutes.
  4. Let the toasted noodles/almonds cool.
  5. In a large bowl mix the noodle/almond mixture with the shredded cabbage.
  6. Toss the dressing with the salad fixings, adding the vinaigrette to taste.
  7. *CLAIRE'S TIP: Do not toss the slaw with the dressing until ready to eat so that the noodles remain crispy.
