Nappa Cabbage, Chicken & Ramen Salad

*Closest pic I could find to how this salad looks..... Mmmmm I LOVE this salad!

Ingredients:

Salad:

2 heads of Chinese Nappa Cabbage (shredded/chopped)

3-4 chicken breasts (boiled and chopped)

2 bunches of Scallions (chopped)

2 sm. cans of sliced water chestnuts (drained)

1 package slivered almonds (buy baked, or bake @ 400 degrees for 5-10 minutes)

2 package of chicken Raman Noodles (crushed)

Sesame seeds (bake with almonds) *I usually omit the sesame seeds anyway though

1 lg. cucumber (sliced)

Dressing:

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 packets of Ramen Noodle flavoring

1 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:

Cook/boil and chop chicken breasts. Roast almonds and sesame seeds. Crush the two packages of dry Ramen noodles. Save the two seasoning packets for the dressing. Slice cucumber. Drain water chestnuts. In a separate bowl mix the salad oil, seasoned rice vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and the two oriental flavor Ramen seasoning packets. ...Other recipes say to keep the dry crushed Ramen noodles, seeds, nuts, veggies and dressing separate until right before serving (to prevent 'sogginess'), but I like the salad better the longer its has time to soak in all the dressing and etc (it tastes stronger the next day). -So its up to you, but I just go ahead and add all salad ingredients together and mix well. Eat then, or serve chilled! :)
