DELICIOUS Ramen Noodle Slaw Salad Recipe | Thrifty Decor Chick

As I age I find I like more foods. Do you find the same? I don’t know if my tastes have matured over time, or that I’m just trying more foods than I used to. Up till a few years ago I didn’t even like avocado — now I could eat it with a spoon. 

I actually avoided this salad at first because I didn’t like most of the ingredients. Everyone raved about it though, so I had to give it a try. It was all over then…I hoarded the rest of it for myself and couldn’t get enough. 🙂

So I knew I had to share it with you! After some searching I realized this is a very popular recipe, but can vary quite a bit. It’s a perfect dish for picnics or get togethers, especially in the warmer months. 

This ramen salad is cold and crunchy and full of flavor:

It’s very quick and easy to put together! As usual, I have some edits and thoughts on the ingredients, so stay tuned. 

Here’s the list of ingredients: 

I couldn’t find actual broccoli slaw, so I used a bagged broccoli salad instead. I didn’t include all of the broccoli and chopped up what I did use. 

Then I mixed in the sunflower seeds and chopped onion: 

The awesome crunch in this salad comes from the sunflower seeds and the ramen. (You can see a few cranberries that were in the seeds from the salad mix I used.)

I put the noodles in a baggy and then pounded them up a bit: 

The bag is helpful for another reason that I’ll share in a minute. Hold off on adding the ramen till the end.

Mix up the dressing — I tried using less sugar than the 1/2 cup at first, but after tasting it I used the full 1/2 cup. 

Mix it all together and ENJOY the light, sweet, crunchiness of this delicious salad!: 

This salad is perfect for a big get together, especially in the spring and summer. So light and fresh and also sweet and savory. 

I make this for me (my family won’t touch it, even though I KNOW THEY’D LOVE IT) and I keep the extra for later. I like the crunch of the ramen, so I keep that out until I eat the salad. It’s probably a good idea to leave the sunflower seeds out until you eat as well. 

If you are making this for a big group, I’d leave the seeds and ramen out till right before you serve. Or you can add them and then add the dressing right before serving. 

I should mention that I don’t like cole slaw or broccoli, and sunflower seeds are not an item I’d reach for…but I LOVE this salad. It is SO dang fresh and yummy. 

Have you tried this ramen noodle salad? Am I the last to this party?
