Love this salad and should have left a review long ago. I do two things differntly though. I add 1 to 1 1/2 of the ramen spice packages to the dressing and omit the salt and pepper. The other thing I do different is after toasting the noodles and almonds I reserve them and store them in a tupperware container so we can add them "as we go". This works out really well if you have left overs the next day and want nice crunchy topping to go with it. Thanks again!

I've been wanting to try this recipe because I've tried some at potlucks and this one was great! A few tweaks: I used Broccoli Slaw that was in a bag to make half the recipe, instead of salt I used the season packet, instead of sunflower seeds I used sesame seeds, added a little sesame oil for fun. Next time: it was a little dry for me, so I think I will add some soy sauce and more rice vinegar and more green onion. Thanks for sharing! We loved it!

This was such a great salad! I very rarely eat cabbage, basically only in Asian food and cabbage rolls, and I loved this. I used Napa cabbage and scaled it down a bit for one. I also added a bit of slivered red bell pepper since I had it around. I mixed the dressing a little bit by trial and error trying to scaled it down but it was perfect. I thought about just using chow mein noodles but did the ramen and they were so nutty and crunchy from being browned. Thank you for posting. Had to add that if you're wanting to make this to take somewhere, keep the dressing, chickenm, crunchy noodles and nuts separate from the veggies so nothing wilts. I make it for myself and just keep everything separate until I'm ready to make a serving then I just assemble it. When I pack it for lunch I keep everything in zip bags and put it together at lunchtime. Works great!

SOOOOO good and easy. I have been making it once a week since I found the recipe and everyone who tries it wants a copy. I leave out the chicken entirely- it doesn't need it. Yummy on it's own! Thanks for posting.
