Brian's sister Dena brings this salad to family parties and it was always a favorite of mine and Brian's, but now it's Bridget's all time favorite too. Probably shouldn't admit this, but our rice vinegar is five years old and we used it anyway! Alexa said it was fine.
Dressing:
3/4 cup Canola oil
3/4 cup rice vinegar
4 Tbsp sugar
2 season packets from Chicken Top Ramen
Whisk together and set aside.
Salad:
1 head of cabbage, shredded (I sliced it thin, then chopped)
2 pkgs chicken ramen noodles, boiled for EXACTLY two minutes and drained
1 Costco rotisserie chicken, chopped (the equivalent of about 3 cooked chicken breasts)
4 green onions, sliced
4 Tbsp sliced almonds
4 Tbsp sunflower seeds, salted and roasted
Mix dry ingredients and pour dressing over. Stir with tongs, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for as long as possible and for at least two hours. (If the recipe is doubled, which it always is for family parties, still use just one head of cabbage and don't add more chicken.)
