Taste buds will rejoice with the first bite of a crunchy oriental salad, a combination of fresh vegetables, savory sauces, and complementary textures. The lightly blanched snow pea pods or tender asparagus spears, combined with julienned carrots and bell peppers, offer a refreshing crunch that pairs wonderfully with the crisp bite of water chestnuts. This delightful salad is a symphony of flavors, where the sweetness of shredded cabbage and red onion mingles with the tangy bite of a well-balanced dressing, often made with rice vinegar, sesame oil, and soy sauce. It's a culinary exploration that promises to transport you to the vibrant streets of Asian markets, with each bite bursting with a satisfying mix of flavors and textures.

ORIENTAL CHICKEN SALAD WITH CRUNCHY RAMEN NOODLES
This is a salad that even non-cabbage eaters love. It is nice and crunchy with great flavor. I once took it to a potluck in my apartment complex and then had to put the recipe up on the bulletin board because everyone wanted the recipe!

Steps:
- Prepare dressing and set aside.
- Smash noodles of Top Ramen (discard seasoning packets) and brown over medium heat in 3 tbs oil.
- Once noodles have begun to slightly brown, add slivered almonds.
- If you start to brown the Ramen and almonds at the same time, the almonds will burn before the Ramen browns.
- Once the ramen noodles have turned a dark golden brown, remove from heat and set aside.
- Combine cabbage, green onions, chicken and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.
- Add the ramen/almond mixture and stir well.
- Add dressing and stir to coat.
- I generally prepare the dressing right before serving.
- If it sits in the refrigerator too long, it gets very thick and won't remix well.
- Also, this amount of dressing is just the right amount to give the salad a good coating.
- If you are one of those who likes more dressing, I would recommend making 1/2 batch of extra dressing.
- If you plan on eating this left over, keep in mind that the noodles will not stay crunchy.

Tips for Making a Crunchy Oriental Salad:
- Use fresh, crisp vegetables. This is key to achieving the desired crunch in your salad. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly and make the salad more visually appealing.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should still have a slight crunch to them when they're done cooking.
- Use a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what really brings the salad together, so don't skimp on it. Experiment with different flavors until you find one that you love.
- Add some protein. If you want to make a more substantial salad, add some protein, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Serve the salad immediately. This will help to preserve the crunch of the vegetables.
Conclusion:
Crunchy Oriental salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
