I’m supposed to be running out the door to a friends for Friday night cards and potluck, and as usual the day has gotten away from me.
I’d planed to show you all my favorite colors today (double duty for camp homework), but instead I’m sharing my go to salad for potlucks, get togethers and such. Everyone seems to like it, I can have it made in under 10 minutes, and best of all I love it. That way even if I don’t like anything else there I’m happy and full.
Oriental Salad
Dry Ingredients:
1 Packages Ramon Noodles-Beef Flavor (crush noodles into small pieces)
1 Package Cole Slaw-1 pound size
3/4 cup slivered almonds
3/4 cup sunflower seeds
3/4 cup green onions
Mix the above except for the flavor packet from the Ramon Noodles. Set aside.
Wet Ingredients:
¾ cup veg. oil
1/3 cup cider vinegar
½ cup sugar
flavor packet from the Ramon Noodles
Mix the wet ingredients together. I put them in a tupperware and shake.
Right before serving, pour wet ingredients on dry ingredients and mix well.
As a bonus little helpers love to smash the noodles. Is she cute or what?
Can you see the goo on her face? We made chocolate chips cookies too.
(sorry about the red eye, I can’t fix it in 10 minutes)
Goodness she is adorable!! Too cute!! The salad looks delish!

That's a cute noodle smasher you have there. Good thing you put the noodles in a bag!

Wow! Cooking is fun when you get to smash noodles!

That is my go-to salad as well -- but I use Mann's Broccoli Slaw instead of coleslaw, and then I delude myself that I am eating healthy food. Also, I lightly toast the almonds. To save even more time you can smash the noodles right in their package as long as your helper is not too enthusiatic so that a hole is blown in the side.
ps Congrats on the shawl being mentioned by Steph.
