Oriental Coleslaw

This Oriental Coleslaw is salty, crunch, and fresh. Cabbage and shaved brussel sprouts, bell pepper, toasted almonds, and crunched up ramen noodles pair so wonderfully with a sweet oil and vinegar dressing for a tasty side dish.

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • small bowl, glass beaker or mason jar
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 1 lbs chicken breast
  • 1 cup Asian sesame dressing I used Kraft
  • 4 cups finely shredded cabbage
  • 2 cups shaved brussels sprouts
  • 1 cup mini bell peppers sliced
  • 1/2 cup green onions sliced
  • 1 package chicken flavored ramen noodles

For the dressing:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • salt + pepper to taste
  • 1 packet ramen seasoning (from the noodle package) optional

Instructions

  • An hour prior to grilling, place the chicken breasts in a plastic bag with asian sesame dressing. Make sure all of the chicken is coated in dressing. Refrigerate for at minimum an hour (the longer it marinates, the more flavor).
  • After 1 hour, remove chicken from the fridge and heat your grill. Grill chicken breasts until it reaches an internal temperature reaches 165°F. I use my indoor Ninja Foodi Grill for this as it’s quick and easy to use.
  • While the chicken is grilling, prep all vegetables. Use a mandolin (or really fine knife and cutting board) to slice peppers, jalapeños, and brussel sprouts and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Dressing: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl or shake in a mason jar. Optionally, add the ramen noodle seasoning packet to the dressing.
  • Toss to coat evenly with dressing. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
  • Crush the ramen noodles in their bag prior to opening. Add to the salad with slivered almonds, and dressing. Toss so everything is well coated.
  • Slice the grilled chicken into pieces and enjoy with the salad. Best served chilled.

Notes

 Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
You may have carrots, cucumbers, or bok choi in your fridge. These would all taste amazing in this slaw.
