Crab or Chicken Salad Coleslaw image

You will LOVE this tangy (but slightly sweet) one-big-bowl salad. Great as a potluck or picnic carry-along, too.

Time 13m

Yield 1 cup servings, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons slivered almonds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 (3 ounce) package chicken-flavored ramen noodles, reserve seasoning packet for dressing
1 (1 lb) package coleslaw mix
6 cups lettuce, bite-size (or romaine)
3/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 (1 lb) package imitation crabmeat, thawed
1/3 cup canola oil (or olive oil)
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Toast nuts and seeds in a cast-iron frying pan on medium heat OR in the oven -- until golden-brown; set aside to cool.
  • Break ramen noodles into small pieces; set aside until just before serving time.
  • In a large bowl, combine coleslaw, lettuce, onion and crab.
  • Mix dressing ingredients and the seasoning packet in a pint jar or other container with a lid; stir or shake until sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • AT SERVING TIME: add nuts and noodles to the salad; toss well. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
  • LEFTOVERS: This salad is really good the next day too, but the ramen will have lost its crunchiness -- so ADD another packet of broken ramen noodles.
  • LARGE FAMILY/POTLUCK OPTION: Add two packets of ramen noodles to stretch it a bit further.
  • SUBSTITUTIONS: Switch out the crab for some cooked chicken breast chunks or even shrimp! Add a few tablespoons of finely minced green Bell peppers (orange, red, yellow, too). Use scallions instead of a large onion.
