this was fantastic !!! everytime i make it people rave about it - i dont soak the noodles because i like them crunchy, but i do mix the salad up and refrigerate it for 3-4 hours before serving - it is also good the next day, it any is left over, which is very rare. I dont use cashews, i use sliced almonds and sesame seeds and toast them for about 10 mins. in 325 degree oven before i add to the coleslaw. Last time i made it i added some plain, boiled shredded chicken and the oranges just before serving, there were no leftovers !!! everyone always raves about it and i am frequently asked to bring it to functions we go to. It really is a good, basic recipe - most definetely a keeper!!!! thank you Louise for sumitting it -

I really liked this salad! I didn't soak the noodles at all--they soften up in the marinade enough and wanted it crunchy. Used oriental ramen instead of chicken and since I like lots of dressing, added the mandrin juice to the mix. If you double this recipe, make sure you have a seriously huge bowl. I made this for an office dinner and while I loved it, no one really said much, so.......4 stars. As a leftover, the noodles and cashews get soft but it's still very good. I'm planning on making this for Thanksgiving for my more sweet-toothed family. And can anyone tell my why you must use white wine vinegar instead of plain 'ol white vinegar? If anyone is interested, a single recipe of this salad cost about $7.00.

This is sooo fantastic. Loved the mandarin oranges and dressing mixed with the nuts. Such a great salad for summer. I brought it to a family bbq and it got rave reviews. 5 stars from all who had some.

Although this salad has quite a few ingredients, it is easy to assemble. I made it the night before with the exception of the cashews. It was delicious and a welcome change from the normal variety of pasta and potato salads. A definite keeper in my recipe collecion!!

This was a very different kind of recipe for me, but I was looking for cholesterol-free recipes so I gave it a try and was glad I did. I left out the oranges and most of sugar and it was still sweet but not too sweet. I loved it.

This salad is missing something. It just does not have enough zing for me.

This salad was refreshing, yet dull. I added a fair amount of soy sauce and more green onions.

Sorry but we didn't enjoy this recipe. I was missing the mandarin oranges, but I can't believe they'd make that much difference. All three kids took one bite and said NO THANKS.

I first had this salad at a "Food Day" at work. It was heaven from the first bite. I have since made it. Adding fresh cilantro really gives it a wonder flavor.

Now one of my favorite recipes. Great for summer -- or for a taste of summer on a dreary winter day. Good fresh or a few days old (softened noodles are still delicious).

This is a wonderful salad. Everytime I make it I am asked for the recipe. I added boiled chicken breast which I slice and marinate in a little of the salad dressing. Wonderful salad to take to a potluck. I usually make a double batch and come home with an empty bowl :)

Very good summer salad. I would cut down the onions to 1/2 bunch. Could also add shredded carrot. I will make this again!

I took this to a Halloween work potluck and was asked by several people for the recipe. I made a mistake in buying Ramen noodles without a seasoning pack. The seasoning was mixed with the noodles, so it washed out when I drained the noodles. I added chicken granules, but I'm sure it would have been better with the seasoning pack. I'll definitely make again. Thanks
