Delicious and simple to make

Kathy Thompson from Charlotte, NC

If I have made this salad once, I have made it 100 times. Everytime we have a holiday dinner, my kids want this salad. I also make and keep the noodles and almonds separate in containers and take it for lunch several times in a week. Best salad around.
Oriental Ramen Salad Plus!

Dee Harvey from WA

Easy to make. We substitued finely shredded cabbage and we've added baked, chunked chicken or turkey breast. This is a great meal for hot summer days or excellent accompaniment on a party buffet table.
A NEW SUMMER SALAD FAVORITE

Pamela McCandless from Auburn, IN

A wonderful summer salad to add to the menu. This is very nice, flavorful, with a very nice creamy dressing. We did want a little more zip, tang to the dressing so I added about 10 drops of Asian Hot Oil when blending the dressing. This gave it the perfect zing we were looking for. So if you like just a little more pizzaz to your meal try that. It is available at all major and Asian markets. Wonderful at room temperature or cold if made ahead!

This was a quick and delicious salad idea. I had enough leftover for the people I work for try it they all ask for the recipe. Thank you
Outstanding for summer

Colleen Sproul from Dayton, WA

I have made this for several summer parties and actually add diced and cooled leftover chicken breast to the salad as I mix it. Everyone raves about it and asks for the recipe! A hit no matter where I take it! Also try using bagged coleslaw mix in place of the salad greens and a teaspoon of sugar or artificial sweetener to the dressing as it is blended. Another little tweak that is great!
Oriental Ramen Salad

RUTH PENDERGRASS from Littleton, CO

We thought this salad was great! I also added chicken, tomatoes, shredded carrots and radishes to the greens and threw in about 1/4 cup of sesame seeds with the almonds and noodles. It made a fantastic salad for our dinner on a hot summer Denver day.
Oriental Ramen Salad

D Dale from MILFORD, MI

This was pretty good, never thought about using salad (lettuce) in this recipe before I've always just used the coleslaw but this was a refreshingly nice change!
SO Good!

JANICE GAREY from Terre Haute, IN

This is almost the same recipe my m-i-l used to make when she visited. I lost the recipe and was so glad to see it again. It's even better than I remember, I think it's the browning of the noodles and almonds in the butter that does it. I could make a meal out of it!
To die for!

KIMBERLY RIDDLE from Whitehouse, TX

This stuff is sooo good. Everyone I have made it for has raved about it. It is amazingly good. Kids will even like it too. Delicious!
Yum Yum Yum

Karlynn from

It was nice and different. I just served the dressing one the side so we could save the salad if it didn't get eatten. It was very good. We ran out of salad before the dressing, so we saved the dressing and have put it on many different meals. Chicken, Fish, Zucchini, and other salads. It was a very easy recipe and very tasty.
Love it!

CJ from

My husband found this recipe and we love it! We add grilled chicken and mandarin oranges to kick it up a notch. Love to serve it to our vegetarian friends.
Good

Amy from

This was good but it was confusing when the recipe asked my to crumble ramen noodles and fry them. Something about the meal did not go well with my tummy though. The meal was liked but said by one family member(with a manly appetite) it should be served as a side dish. To me the meal tasted like a hamburger. Don't try to store it! It gets mushy, and hard to swallow!
Delicious

C Wakeling from SILVER SPRINGS, NV

This was a tasty salad and dressing combo, It has a lot of my favorites, like mandrin oranges and almonds. The noodles were a nice touch. The dressing was very flavorful and creamy. Thank you
My new favorite salad

Kimberly from

I made this salad for our soup party and it was excellent! It's my new favorite salad! I loved the crunchiness of the ramen noodles and the almonds but don't add the dressing until right before you serve (it gets soggy pretty fast, but it still tastes good). I received a lot of compliments also so I will be definitely making it again for another get together.
Very Good

Sheri from Montesano,Wa

This salad was great. The family liked the dressing and the crunch.
Crunchy and Tasty

ANDREA HUDSON-TOMBLIN from DULUTH, GA

I thought the salad was very easy to make. I was skeptical of the dressing, but it is delicious. I'll add chicken and cherry tomatoes next time to make it a bigger salad. Very Tasty!!
Best Salad Ever!

Jen from

This has got to be one of the best salads I have ever eaten. The dressing sounded gross since it calls for evaporated milk, but the taste is awesome!
Very Good

Meg Dowds from Birmingham, AL

I made the salad on a Monday night. The next night my boyfriend asked if we could have it again. Guess it was a big hit
Oriental Ramen Salad

Kerri Ebert from SAINT GEORGE, KS

Easy to prepare and delicious. I have taken this salad to several potluck dinners. Each time I've received positive comments. We added precooked, bite-sized pieces of chicken breast and made it a main course salad, too.

This is a terrific salad that even my young children love. It is a weekly staple in my menu plan!
Wonderfully refreshing

Donna Wolf from WAUWATOSA, WI

This salad was wonderful. I took it to a potluck, and it went over very well. The dressing has an excellent taste, and the crunch of the noodles adds to the texture. I used pecans, and fat free Evaporated Milk. I will definitely make this again.
REALLY good

brenda frymire from tracy, CA

I'm not big on trying new things and I wasn't sure about the combination of ingredients. But it was just wonderful. It's now my favorite. It does take more prep work...but it's worth it!
ORIENTAL RAMEN SALAD

LYNNE KRIEGER from YACOLT, WA

SURPRIZINGLY VERY GOOD. ADDED SOME STEAMED FRENCH CUT GREEN BEANS. GREAT SIDE DISH. GREAT LOW CALORIE DISH.
Excellent

Anna from

The salad was a big hit in our family. I doubled the noodles and used sesame seeds instead and it still was fabulous. Our lettuce was a bit bitter and the dressing covered the taste nicely so no one could taste the bitterness.
Yummy

Nadine Osborne from RANDOLPH, NY

I love this salad, I like the ease of putting it together and the wonderful flavor and crunch when I eat it. Couldn't be improved on.
Very tasty!

LaVonne Ozmun from WINONA, MN

Have prepared this recipe several times now and loved it every time.
Refreshing

Wanda Barrett from OAKHURST, CA

A refreshing light and easy salad wonderful on these hot summer days
A Keeper!

Cathy Newcomb from Cedar Rapids, Iowa

We absolutely love this salad. My husband always hates to try new dishes but was glad we tried this one. He even requests it. I add a package of grilled chicken breast strips and I only use one pkg. of salad. We thought it was a little dry with 2 packages of salad.
tasty good

Marcia Emig from GOODLAND, KS

What a different, yet easy salad. My family loves it. Definitely a "KEEPER"
Great salad

Patty McCasland from Goldthwaite TX

Had many requests for this recipe after taking the salad to a couple of church covered dish meals. Since we are PECAN growers, i had to substitute pecans for almonds. Delicious!!!!!
Oriental Ramen Salad

Arleny Echavarria from GOLDSBORO, NC

This is a good salad and it has a good taste. It is also good for those people who are in diet. Add this salad to your diet and you will love it, and thank me for telling you.
I LOVED IT!

Ana Yanez from Phoenix, AZ

When I first read this recipe, I questioned putting in the evaporated milk but I was happily surprised. This was a really easy recipe. I had most of the ingredients in the cupboard already (including the milk)! I added some cooked, diced chicken and made it a meal. Try it! You'll love it!
Very Satisfying

Jennifer Smith from Allendale, NJ

I made this sald and I was very satisfied. It was filling and tasty, and you can add any thing you like to make it even yummier. I put some artichoke hearts in mine, with celery, shredded carrots and shredded cheese. It was great. In addition, when I made the salad, I realized that I did not have the evaporated milk, so I left it out and the dressing was great! I will make it again and have recommended it to people I work with.
progressive dinner

KATE LENKIEWICZ from Grand Rapids, MI

Every year 4-6 couples get together for a dinner. This year my assignment was salad and I made Oriental Ramen Salad. It was such a hit with all the couples that I had to give each of them this recipe! Everyone then made the salad for their Easter dinners and more members of the families asked for the recipe! To me, that is proof positive that the recipe is a success!
Oriental Ramen Salad

Shirley Vance from VERNER, WV

This was the best salad I haven ever eaten. I have had a lot of salads in my time but this was the best. I cant say enought about it. It was excellent. It will go with any meal .
Terrific

Carol from Arizona

I was looking for some thing quick to go with teryaki chicken and wow, our guest were so impressed. I've served it several times and always given away the recipe!
Great meal for people with braces

Rebecca Johnson from APO, NY

I love this as a meal with chicken added to it - it is quick and simple very easy to make. I also love it because when made with fat-free carnation it is very nutritious. The best though is that I have braces so it is good for you and easy on the mouth heheehe.
Oriental Ramen Salad

Barbara Green from VINCENNES, IN

I have to be honest, I didn't think that I would like this salad as it was a little "different" but after I tried it I quickly changed my mind...it was awesome!!!

This is a very good and crunchy salad. I have served it to my family, company at my house and a church potluck. Everyone liked it a lot and some asked me for the recipe.

I used pakaged cole slaw instead of lettuce and it made a very tasty cole slaw. I make it for a get together and everyone loved it.

joel tedder from FORT DODGE, IA

I was very surprised really how great this salad was. So impressed that I now make it a couple times a week, and have even gotten the kids to eat it as well.

I really enjoyed this salad. It has all the elements necessary for a meal and is an interesting departure from what I would normally consume. I highly recommend that others try it.
