Light Ramen Salad

Light Ramen Salad

This is my absolute favorite item to bring to potlucks, food days at work, and family dinners. It's light, quick to whip up, and is a great side to go with grilled chicken and burgers. Slightly tangy and a little bit sweet, it's a perfect summer food. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 bag of coleslaw
2 packages of chicken Ramen Noodles
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 bunch chopped green onions, stems and all

Dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup vinegar (I added a splash more)
1/2 cup Truvia
2 seasoning packets from the Ramen

Crush Ramen Noodles in the packages. Remove seasoning packets. Mix coleslaw, almonds, ramen noodles and onions in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, vinegar, Truvia and seasoning packets to a separate small bowl. Whisk until blended. Pour over coleslaw mixture and stir to combine.

I recommend letting the dressing sit on the mixture for about 2 hours before serving. Keep refrigerated.
