This is a throwback to our early days as a young couple. We’ve been making this on hot summer days for as long as we’ve been together. I mean, ramen sorta says it all I think to the stage of life at which we first started eating this.

Cabbage + Ramen Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 head of cabbage (green, savoy, or even napa)
  • 1 packet ramen noodles
  • Protein of your choice (we usually grill chicken breasts for this meal)
  • Sesame Ginger dressing (link below)
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare your protein.
  2. Make Sesame Ginger salad dressing.
  3. Chop cabbage.
  4. Crush ramen inside package with the handle of a knife or other blunt instrument.
  5. If you aren’t going to eat it all in one sitting, I recommend adding the ramen on top, like croutons. This will allow you to make another quick salad as a leftover using the extra dressing and already prepped cabbage — an easy and healthy meal for a busy day or night.
  6. In a large bowl, toss cabbage, ramen, and dressing. Top with protein and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

This is the kind of food we crave on the hottest days of summer, and are grateful cabbage is in season nearly the entire year for us so we can enjoy it stir fried and raw, depending on our mood.
