Ramen Chinese Chicken Salad in a serving bowl.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A flavorful and easy salad to throw together for a summer cookout or simple meal. This ramen chicken salad has a sweet, savory, and tangy homemade dressing with an Asian flair. Toasted ramen noodles and almonds add depth of flavor and a nice crunch. Adding chicken to the coleslaw salad adds heartiness. We sprinkled some extra sesame seeds over the top before serving.
