  • It’s well worth the small amount of effort it takes to toast the ramen noodles in the oven. It adds such a nutty flavor that complements the other ingredients.

    Great recipe! All the flavors come together to make a great salad. The salad “goes with” any entree. A definite keeper!!

    Best recipe for Brocolli Slaw ever!! I added red cabbage and regular slaw to 5he brocolli slaw, but did not double the dressing. Rather, I added a 15 Oz can of mandarin oranges in light syrup (do not drain) and that stretched the dressing to cover for the extra slaw.

  3. I made this salad to take to a friends cookout and what a hit!! I read an earlier comment about using this as a base for a salmon dinner…love that too!!

    Thanks Melissa!

    This recipe is to die for. So, so good. I think it’s the sesame oil that gave it that perfect, I can’t have enough of this, flavor. Using the broccoli slaw was such a good idea. Quick, easy & healthy. I didn’t use peanuts (would have used slivered almonds if I were to use nuts). Instead, I put a piece of seasoned, baked salmon on top of the salad, and Bam! Dinner. Sweet. Also, I didn’t have cilantro so I used parsley which worked fine. I served the noodles on the side since there are only 2 of us, and I knew we would be eating it over a few days. I wanted to preserve that wonderful crunch. This is so much better than the traditional recipe. I appreciate your innovations.

  5. From the picture, this looks really difficult. But the how-to, it’s super easy! I can totally do this. And it’s with ingredients that I have on hand. With it being Halloween, my stomach cannot take anymore bad-for-you foods. This is epic.
