I love this recipe because it is so easy and it’s the perfect light dinner for summer. But, in all honesty, there is no reason why you can’t make it whenever you want.

And, you know what else? It gets my kids to eat cabbage. Yep, you read that right. C-A-B-B-A-G-E. My two year old didn’t go for it, but as we all know, he doesn’t each much of anything that is, of course, unless it’s served with a spork at Costco. Sigh.

But, back to the recipe. This is one that makes a lot, so I think it would be perfect for a baby shower, or party, or anytime you’re asked to bring the salad to something. But, it’s super yummy just for a light dinner at home too. And, my kids LOVE that it uses ramen noodles. What kid doesn’t love ramen?

So, here it is:
