Chinese Cabbage Salad


An easy summer staple!  Make this ahead of time to let the cabbage wilt.  It's great on it's own or as a side dish.  I add the ramen noodles as a treat but they can be omitted for a cleaner salad.

Chinese Cabbage Salad

1 cooked chicken breast (sliced fine or shredded with a fork)
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1/2 c sliced toasted almonds
1/2 head cabbage (sliced fine or shredded)
2 green onions (chopped)
1 pkg Top Ramen (noodles only)  (optional)

Toss ingredients together in large salad bowl.  Crush ramen noodles and mix into the salad.

Prepare dressing below and toss in with the salad.  Allow salad to stand refrigerated 2 hours or overnight.

Dressing:

1/2 c light flavored oil (such as a light olive oil or sunflower oil)
1/2 tbsp salt
1/2 tbsp pepper
3 tbsp rice vinegar
Optional - add 2 tbsp sugar (but I don't think you need it)

Combine in jar, cover and shake well.
