    This Oriental Tossed Salad is a tried and true old favourite in our household.

    I had forgotten how much I like this salad. We have been devouring it this summer but it would make a good salad any time of the year.

    This is a variation on the Napa Cabbage Salad. Similar dressing and uses the flavour packet from Mr. Noodles Instant Noodles. Crushing the dried ramen noodles, along with the toasted almonds and sesame seeds adds some crunch to the salad.

    The dressing is quite strongly flavoured. This makes a great side for a marinated steak or this Spicy Black Pepper Beef.
