Ramen Noodle Salad

     I know what you are thinking when the words 'ramen noodles' and 'salad' are put together. HOW?! I absolutely despise ramen noodles. They are high in sodium and just straight out taste horrid. This salad is the only way I will ever eat ramen noodles. This is simply because they are not cooked and there is no gross seasoning powder with them. I had first ordered this dish at Kona Grill just to see exactly what it is all about. It was delicious! I just had to try making it myself at home. 

     The base of this salad is a napa and red cabbage. I personally really like napa cabbage in my salads, but using romaine or iceberg lettuce would give the same effect. Chopped green onions and cilantro are added into the salad for flavor. Red peppers are added for color and crunch. When I had first had the salad at Kona Grill, they had shaved almonds in it. However, thought that the almonds had put in a bad interesting taste. Therefore, when I made this salad, I did not add the almonds. Now for the ramen noodles. The ramen noodles were left in their block-like form that they come packaged in, uncooked. I just broke the block up into bite sized pieces or smaller. This salad can be served with a meat of preference. I grilled chicken and diced it up to put into the salad. Finally, toss the salad in a sweet soy sauce and enjoy!
