Chinese Chicken Cabbage Salad

This recipe can be summed up in two words: SO YUMMY! I know some of you may be getting into the "fall-ish" recipes by now but we're still enjoying more of the summer variety weather so salads are still on the menu. I know there are many variations on this salad. Maybe you have one that's your favorite but...you've got to try this one!

Chinese Chicken Cabbage Salad

1 bag coleslaw mix or 1 small head of cabbage chopped
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
4 green onions, sliced thin
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds, toasted
2 packages chicken flavored ramen noodles, crushed (set seasoning packets aside)
1 large can of chicken or 2 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped

Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a small skillet and toast almonds and sesame seeds. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Set aside. Mix all ingredients (except seasoning packets) together in a large bowl. Add toasted nuts and seeds.

Dressing:
2/3 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
2 packages chicken flavored seasoning from ramen noodles (I use about 1 1/2)
Pepper to taste

Mix and pour dressing on 1/2 hour before serving.
