Top Ramen Chinese Chicken Salad

One of my very best friends made this for me when I was in High School. I loved it. I made her give me the recipe before I left her house and I have been making it ever since. I wont say how many years that has been! But, it is really one of my favorite meals. Especially this time of year when it is hot and a cool dinner sounds great.

I like this salad also because it seems to taste better the longer it sits and the spices mix together. I usually pan fry my chicken, but you could easily use rotisserie or grilled chicken also. My kids eat this up without any complaints. Actually, they love it too and try to go for the serving with the most top ramen!

Top Ramen Chinese Chicken Salad

Recipe given to me from Cami Stephenson

1/2 head lettuce, cut into bite size pieces

1/2 head cabbage, cut into bite size pieces

3 cups chicken, diced or shredded

2 Tbs. sesame seeds

1/4 cup slivered almonds

2 packages Top Ramen Chicken Soup Noodles, broken into small pieces

2 green onions, diced

Dressing

1 Top Ramen noodle dressing packet

1/2 cup oil

1 tsp. salt

1Tbs. sugar

3 Tbs. vinegar

1 tsp. pepper

Combine all of the dressing ingredients and stir very well. Set aside while you put the salad together.

Add all of the salad ingredients into a large bowl and mix with the dressing. That's it. Sometimes I don't have sesame seeds or almonds & it still tastes great! Enjoy this one!

Frog Eye Salad

This salad is one of my kids favorites. They want to eat it for every meal. I can't really blame them, it tastes like dessert. It is full of pineapple, mandarins, marshmallows and Cool Whip - who wouldn't want to eat that all day?

I love to start making it this time of year & on through summer, it is refreshing and light. You have to plan ahead a little because you have to start the night before, but it is worth it and will go with about any meal. We love it!

Frog Eye Salad

1/2 cup sugar

2 Tbs. corn starch

1 cup water

2 big cans pineapple chunks

2 big cans mandarin oranges

2 cups marshmallows

1 can crushed pineapple

1 container Cool Whip

Cook the pasta according to the directions and drain well. Cook the pineapple juice, sugar, corn starch and water in a saucepan until it thickens. Pour over the pasta and put in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning it will look like this...

Before serving add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Can you see all of the yummy goodies in there? They taste so good together!
