Oriental Coleslaw

I combined a couple recipes to make this.

Oriental Coleslaw

Salad:
  • 1/2 head cabbage, thinly sliced and chopped (or shredded)
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1 cup green pepper, chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped
Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 2 T vinegar
  • 2 T soy sauce
  • 1 T sugar
  • 1/2 t. pepper
  • 1/4 t. salt
Directions:
  1. Combine all salad ingredients.
  2. Combine dressing ingredients and pour over salad.
  3. Mix well and refrigerate for several hours.
  4. Serve with chow mein noodles.

One of the recipes I used also calls for a package of Ramen noodles.  Mix as directed, noodles with the salad and seasoning packet with the dressing.  I did not use the Ramen this time because I only had a couple hours to let the salad chill, so I didn't think the noodles would have time to soften up.  Next time I'm planning to plan ahead better and use the Ramen.  2 T sesame seeds, 2 T sunflower seeds, and 1/2 c. slivered almonds can also be added - or any combination of the 3.

This is really good with grilled chicken, and makes a good, cool summer meal.
