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.
