Sometimes I’ll even add shredded chicken to the salad and serve it for dinner. My family loves the combination of crunchy, toasted Ramen noodles, sliced almonds, edamame and mandarin oranges in the tangy sesame dressing.

How To Make Asian Ramen Salad:

  • Start out by toasting a couple packages of Ramen noodles in the oven.
  • If you can’t find pre-toasted sliced almonds at the store, you can toss the almonds in with the Ramen noodles to get toasted too.
  • Combine all the salad ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Combine all the dressing ingredients in a dressing bottle or mason jar and shake until combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving.

Asian Ramen Noodle Salad Variations & Tips:

Cabbage –The base of this recipe is shredded cabbage. I like to just grab a big bag of coleslaw mix because it has a couple types of shredded cabbage and some shredded carrots, but you can also shred your own cabbage or even Napa cabbage if you want. Just make sure you have about 5 cups of shredded cabbage.

Mandarin Oranges –I like to use the canned variety of mandarin oranges that are packed in either water or light syrup. You could also use freshly peeled cutie orange segments.

Edamame –You can find already shelled edamame (soy beans) in the freezer section. Just run under cool water to quickly defrost!

Extra Veggies – Feel free to add in extra veggies like sliced red bell peppers or more shredded carrots!

Can I Make Ramen Noodle Salad Ahead of Time?

If you’re bringing this delicious salad to a party or potluck, maybe you’re wondering if you can make it ahead of time so you can easily transport it? YES! You can definitely whip up this easy salad ahead of time.

Make sure to not combine the dressing and salad together until ready to serve to maintain maximum crunch factor!
