This wonderful salad recipe is another of those that goes back to the
days when we lived in the Aptos/Santa Cruz area. I got this recipe from
a lady at church and have no idea where it comes from, but I do know
that this type of salad was very popular in the 1980's and I saw many
variations of it. The recipe feeds a crowd, so it is great for potlucks
and barbecues. I also make it a main dish salad by
adding chopped cooked chicken; we love it.
Blessings...Recipe:
1 head cabbage
8 green onions
4 tbsps. sesame seeds
1 cup cashews
2 pkgs. ramen noodles, chicken flavor
Chopped cooked chicken, if desired to make it a main dish salad
1. Chop cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Slice onions and add to cabbage. Add sesame seeds and cashews.
2. Break uncooked noodles into small pieces and add to salad. (I put the noodles in a plastic bag and gently use a meat mallet on them to break them into small pieces.)
Dressing:
1 cup peanut oil
6 tbsps. apple cider vinegar
4 tbsps sugar, dissolved in vinegar
seasoning packets from noodles
Mix in blender or whisk together, and toss with cabbage using the amount desired.
Yield: 10 - 12 servings

Thanks for this. A friend used to make this all the time when I lived in California. I was thinking about it the other day and thought I'd try looking it up. Didn't expect to find anything, but thanks to your recipe, I just whipped some up and it was as delicious as I remember!
