This Ramen noodle Asian salad is really a great salad for the summer months. No cooking required!
It's super easy to make and has a ton of flavor! It's always a hit at potlucks and barbecues and it makes a great lunch to take to work, too.
It's all about the crunch!
The crunch from the dry noodles pairs up so well with the veggie slaw mix and dressing. So, nope, we are not cooking the Ramen noodles, they are going straight into this salad. Just have to crush them up into pieces.
For maximum crunch, this salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you plan to pack and take this to work for lunch, or serve it at a potluck, keep the ramen noodles separate and toss them in right before you're ready to eat.
