Summer staples in my diet include many, many different types of salad. Potato salad and a couple different takes on Orzo salad come to mind. Today though, I'm going to share with you all one of my best kept secret recipes - the Oriental Salad recipe I made for dinner tonight! It is such a crowd pleaser and looks SO pretty when it's all put together!
Combine the following in a large salad bowl:
1 bunch scallions, chopped or snipped
1 green bell pepper, chopped finely
1 bag each of shredded green and red cabbage (or just buy one head of each and shred by hand, eyeball)
Set aside and chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Combine the following in a skillet and toast over a medium heat until lightly browned:
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/8 cup sesame seeds
noodles only from Ramen Noodle packet (Oriental flavor, set seasoning packet aside)
Set aside and KEEP SEPARATE until just before serving.
For dressing:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 white vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
seasoning packet from ramen noodles
1/2 cup sugar
Combine ingredients, set aside and KEEP SEPARATE until just before serving (if you don't do this, the dry ingredients will get soggy!)
When ready to serve, add dry ingredients and dressing to vegetables in salad bowl. Enjoy!!
