Easy Ramen Noodle Salad with Store Bought Coleslaw

This is one of those recipes I would normally raise an eyebrow at and keep scrolling. But a friend of mine made something similar to this salad and when I tried it I was pleasantly surprised!

I never asked her for the recipe, time passed, and I forgot all about it. Until recently I was looking through recipes and found this one for Ramen Noodle Salad. I was surprised how simple the ingredients are and how much great flavor and texture is packed into such an easy to make salad!

What You’ll Need

1/2 cup Olive Oil

1/4 cup Lemon Juice

1/2 cup Sugar

2 tbsp Soy Sauce

2 tbsp Butter

1 (3 oz) package Ramen Noodles (Remove Seasoning Packet)

1/2 cup Almonds, Slivered

3 tbsp Sesame Seeds

1 (14 oz) bag Tri-Color Coleslaw

1 bunch Green Onions, Sliced Thin

How to Make Ramen Noodle Salad

Combine 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 tbsp soy sauce in a jar and shake until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

While the butter is melted, crush 1 (3 oz) package Ramen Noodles while still in the package. Remove the seasoning packet and add the crushed noodles, 1/2 cup slivered almonds, and 3 tbsp sesame seeds to the melted butter.

Sauté, while stirring frequently, until the noodle mixture is golden brown. Transfer to a plate and let cool.

Pour 1 (14 oz) bag tri-color coleslaw and 1 bunch thinly sliced green onions into a large bowl. Add noodle mixture. Pour dressing over the coleslaw and toss until combined.

Serve immediately.
