Oriental Cole Slaw

What a refreshing change from lettuce based salads.  This cabbage based Oriental salad is very tasty and crisp.  Try it.  You won't be disappointed!

Ingredients

Salad:

• 1 medium head of green cabbage, washed and chopped
• 10 green onions, washed and sliced
• 8 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds ¹
• 8 tablespoons slivered almonds ¹
• 3 packages of ramen noodles, crushed

Dressing:

• 3/4 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1-1/2 cups vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper

Steps

• In small bowl, add rice wine vinegar and sugar.  Stir until sugar is dissolved
• Add remaining dressing ingredients and stir until mixed well

• Toss salad ingredients in a very large, non-reactive serving bowl

Footnotes

¹    To toast the sesame seeds and slivered almonds, in separate batches, spread evenly in jelly roll pan, lined with          parchment paper and bake at 325 F until browned.  Stir occasionally while toasting to ensure even toasting.  be very careful when toasting as there is a fine line between toasting and burning.
