Probably Mundane to all of you foodies, but I made this awesome salad

I bought a bag of lettuce with the carrots and red cabbage in it, and forgot tomatoes, etc. Totally forgot I wanted to make a salad. So I started pulling stuff out, and started mixing.

1 bag salad mix-lettuce (I don't know if spinach would work)

2 apples-peeled, cored, and cubed-small

1 cup raising

1 cup peanuts

small cubes of cheese-add when serving(all I had was velveeta) I think any mild-to mildly sharp cheese will work

homemade whole wheat croutons

I would have added super thin sliced green onions, but I didn't have any.

Dressing:

Unbelievable Chicken Marinade from the T&T forum.

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1.5 T. whole grain mustard

1.5 T. Dijon mustard

3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

1 lime, juiced

1/2 cup brown sugar

1.5 tsp. salt

6 T. olive oil

ground pepper to taste

 
This looks great! For an alternate dressing, try the one from PatNoCal's Oriental Salad - so good!

Pat's notes: It seems this recipe has been around for ages and while it might not be considered 'gourmet' by some since it uses a Ramen packet seasoning packet...it's really quite good. It makes a lot, it's inexpensive and it always goes. I usually like to

add the dressing about 30-45 minutes before serving.

Surprise Coleslaw

1/2 medium cabbage, shredded (2mm Cuisinart disk)
3 to 4 green onions, chopped
2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted*
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted*
1 pkg Top Ramen noodles, or any brand (chicken is best),
uncooked and crushed


Toss salad and then add enough dressing to moisten well.
Note: You may not need to add all of the dressing.



Dressing:
1 pkg flavoring mix from Ramen noodles (chicken flavor is best)
2
tbsp sugar
1 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup oil (I like Canola)
3 tbsp cider vinegar


To toast almonds and sesame seeds: in 350 degree oven on cookie sheet
or in dry skillet on stove. Watch closely so they don't burn. Optional: can also add chunks of cooked chicken breast

 
Pat, I checked T&T and it appears this salad is missing. Surely more folks have made this....

I've made this salad a hundred times, at least! One of my all time favorites.
