easy and simple and really testy

Tastey and loved by everyone I know. I add green onion and chopped fresh broccoli to the cabbage. I use Splenda instead of sugar because I can't have sugar and toast the noodles along with almonds, sunflower seed and sesame seeds. I've also found that using the Oriental flavor of soup mix along with sesame oil and rice vinegar makes for a more Asian tasting salad.

I hate to lower the score for this recipe, but I just didn't care for it. My husband liked it though after dousing it with Italian dressing. To me it was just too plain tasting, and it was too sweet. I only did 2 tbsp. sugar hoping that it wouldn't be that sweet but it was still too much for my taste. I also used toasted pine nuts instead of sunflower seeds, toasted the ramen, and added green onion. This still is missing something though.

This was good, but will let sit overnight to see if flavors intensify. Additions consisted of shredded carrots, a few slices of green pepper, a handful of almonds. toasted the almonds and ramen noodles before adding.

OK...I was a little skeptical about making this salad...but this is so good and easy. I had just cut up a big batch of cabbage on my mandolin yesterday because I was making Moo Shu Pork. I only needed half the cabbage and this salad was great way to use the rest of it. And the dressing is something I would use on my regular salads. My daughter will be asking me to make this all time.. In fact, this will probably be a regular meal for her when she goes off to college in a couple of months. Best to add the noodles right before serving.

Good stuff, I kind of cheated though, as I just used chopped up romaine instead of cabbage. As a college student, I've got enough Ramen noodles to fill a warehouse. It's nice to have a different way to eat them. I didn't use any sunflower seeds, since I didn't have any on hand, but it tasted fine regardless. Thanks Tamera. *edit* I made this again, this time using cabbage, and I threw in those sunflower seeds too. Nice and crunchy, enjoyed it much like the first time I made it.

Fantastic! I made this salad this morning and put it in the frig to chill until supper. Hubby ate 3/4 of it before 5:00pm! (He can be rather luke-warm on some of the stuff I make but, this one was a real hit!) My only alteration: I added mandarin oranges. Thank you for the recipe!

I made this for a camping trip. It is very much like a broccoli recipe I make. I thought it was good, but needs something added to bring more taste.

I liked this recipe for the versatility. I used the chicken ramen. Prepackaged chopped cabbage (purple and green with carrots)added green onion and celery and black pepper.I also used 2w types of olive oil mixed together. My husband wasn't too sure about the ramen but I was. I love the crunch. Pecans also work VERY well instead of sunflower seeds. Great as a summer MEAL!

We had lots of ramen noodle packages in the cupboard and needed a salad for my son's Boy Scout camp. This was very good and easy and I love the noodles crunchy so didn't add those until 30minutes prior to serving along with the sunflower seeds! Thanks!

I used a bag of shredded cabbage and added in some chopped green onions, only about 1/4 cup sunflower seeds and some toasted slivered almonds. I suggest substituting rice wine vinegar and found the dressing was great with only 2 Tbsp. sugar. Just fantastic! There wasn't a shred left in the bowl after our bbq.

Everyone loved this side dish, even the picky eaters. It is simple and easily changed by the addition of ingredients on hand. Can't wait to make it again.

This is so delicious and made with items right around the house. I bought the bagged cabbage and it was perfect!

Tastes great and is so easy to make.

I love this recipe. However, like others I toast the noodles and sunflower seeds. I also add a couple teaspoons of soy sauce for an oriental flavoring.

Yum! I usually use a bag of cole slaw or broccoli slaw and change up the vinegar (cider, balsamic, red wine) for variety.

Oh my! This is fabulous! I used both red & green cabbage, 2 sliced green bell peppers, 1/2 thinly sliced onion, 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 balsamic vinegar. I didn't have sunflower seeds so I doubled the amount of almonds, which I had toasted. I brought this to a baby shower and it was the first thing to go and EVERYONE wants the recipe! Thank you Tamera for a great recipe!

AWESOME!!!! We loved it...made just as directed (only doubled as it was for a potluck)..dh and I couldn't stop snacking on it! Next time I will try the suggestion of having some spicy marinated chicken, using a spicy chicken ramen packet, almonds, and maybe mand. oranges. yummmmm. oh, and thought we might try olive oil instead of veg. oil. YUM
