BOK CHOY RAMEN NOODLE SALAD
Great side dish for a BBQ or lunch buffet. This was my Mom's neighbor's recipe and I got the same recipe from my friend and neighbor (small world). The ramen noodles add and nice crunch and this is very simple to prepare. You can half the ingredients for a smaller salad and you can also use romaine lettuce instead of bok choy if you like. My friend, Alisa, adds kidney beans to the salad.

CRUNCHY ASIAN RAMEN NOODLE SALAD (A.K.A. BASICALLY THE BEST POTLUCK SALAD EVER) RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by á-46334
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- To Make The Salad: (Optional first step: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread the crumbled ramen noodles and sliced almonds out on a baking sheet, and stir a bit to combine. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the almonds and noodles are slightly toasted and golden. Remove baking sheet, and give the mixture a good stir to toss. Then return it to the oven and toast for an additional 3 minutes. Keep a very close eye on the mixture so that it does not burn. Remove and set aside.) Add ingredients (including the vinaigrette) together in a large bowl, and toss until combined. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. (This salad is much better eaten the first day, as the noodles lose their "crunch" the longer it sits, and the avocado may brown a bit. Still, it's perfectly edible and enjoyable even after a few days!) To Make The Vinaigrette: Whisk all ingredients together until combined.

Tips:
- Use fresh ramen noodles. Fresh ramen noodles have a better texture and flavor than dried noodles. If you can't find fresh ramen noodles, you can use dried noodles, but be sure to cook them according to the package directions.
- Cook the noodles al dente. Ramen noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will give them a better texture and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Use a variety of vegetables. Ramen noodle salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include carrots, celery, cucumber, bell pepper, and broccoli.
- Use a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what really makes the salad, so be sure to use a flavorful one. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing are both good options.
- Add some protein. Ramen noodle salad can be a meal on its own if you add some protein. Some good options include chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu.
- Serve the salad cold. Ramen noodle salad is best served cold, so be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Ramen noodle salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables and protein. With a variety of toppings and dressings to choose from, there are endless possibilities for creating a ramen noodle salad that everyone will enjoy.
