Nutty Asian Ramen Noodle Salad

December 27, 2019 by Kelly 62 Comments

I was at a friend’s house for a Halloween get together and she had a spread of food that was awesome! She went all out with bloody finger rolls, tombstone cookies, a big pot of chili, and several salads. One of my favorite salads she makes is her Asian Ramen Noodle Salad. It is sweet, crunchy and packed full of flavor! We have been making this salad for YEARS!! It was pretty popular with the ladies in our bible study and it always shows up at our BBQ’s. I make mine a bit differently from hers as I add cashews and sunflower seeds and a few other things. You know, just to make it my own!

No matter what time of the year, this Nutty Asian Ramen Noodle Salad recipe is the perfect party side dish!

My Nutty Asian Ramen Noodle Salad has such a lovely crunchiness that is even crunchier than my friends. The cashews really add a great flavor to the salad. I love this dish because it is super simple to make and everyone loves it. I will make a huge bowl of it and we will eat off of it for a few days. As a matter of fact, I am adding some rotisserie chicken to my Nutty Asian Ramen Noodle Salad for dinner tonight. Yummy!!!

Nutty Asian Ramen Noodle Salad

If you think this recipe is not a holiday dish, you are so wrong!! No matter what time of the year, this Nutty Asian Ramen Noodle Salad recipe is the perfect party side dish! This salad is bright and fresh and is a real crowd pleaser. Trust me! Your guests will love you for bringing this Nutty Asian Ramen Noodle Salad to your Thanksgiving or Christmas get together! If I am bringing it to a party, I will make one batch with the nuts and one without, just in case people have nut allergies. Don’t forget to bring something sweet, like my No Bake Caramel Apple Pie Cheesecakes!

    Ramen is one of my favorite comfort food. I’m not a big fan of salads but if you combine it with ramen, then I might just want to give it a try. Adding rotisserie chicken will make it extra special.

    I have to be honest and say I do not like ramen noodles. I hear the name and I automatically get grossed out. However, I haven’t eaten them prepared this way. I will try them just because I am curious if ramen noodles can taste good for once.

    I grew up on Top Ramen and I wish my parents knew how to cook it with a twist like this. I would get so bored with it day after day after day. Sometimes I would drain all the water and add the seasoning to the noodles just for a change. I have refused to eat Ramen to this day because of that, but after all these years I might just buy it so I can try out your tasty recipe.
