Cabbage Salad Vinaigrette With Crunchy Noodles
"A staple at potlucks once I started bringing it. Very different from the usual cabbage salads. From my friend Maribeth who got me hooked. Try it! Cook Time is chilling time and to save time I always buy the packaged cabbage mix."

This was great--quick and easy to make and a bonus of less than 100 calories. The color and texture were beautiful. Everyone loved it. Only change was that the bag of cabbage mix had a bit more than the 4 ½ cups called for so I threw the extra in too. I cut up my grilled chicken and mixed it together on my plate, which tasted wonderful--so you could add chicken to the recipe for a change. -
This is a great recipe. I did make alot of changes due to not having quite all the ingredients. I subbed frozen corn and sugar snap peas,left out mushrooms as DH doesnt like and used chopped carrots. I also used oriental flavored ramen noodles and did as another person suggested and used rice vinegar. I also decided to use a sugar substitute instead of sugar. I also used chopped peanuts instead of almonds and sesame seeds. This is a very versatile recipe as with all the changes it has a great flavor, I WILL be making this again. Thank you for this recipe. -
I love this salad and there are so many slight variations you can make. My husband doesn't eat peas or mushrooms so I left them out but added shredded carrots. I also used rice wine vinegar instead of the tarragon vinegar. The noodles are nice toasted as well (toast on cookie sheet with almonds). Great summer salad for picnics etc! -
I've had a similar version of this recipe and agree it's totally scrumptious! I got it from someone at my family reunion. In contrast to your recipe this one used 1/2 C. Italian Salad dressing, 1/4 C. sugar, and instead of sesame seeds, sunflower seeds were used. Broccoli bunches are used as the only vegetable. Hope these added tips help, becasue it sure it delicious and delightful with them...Trust me I know I've had it myself one week straight and I'm still loving' it!!

This is so good! I make a basic version of this, but I love the addition of peas and corn. I did leave out the mushrooms. I will fix it this way for the next potluck I go to! Thanks!

<p>Before I get to the details let me tell you how I rate recipes.....and tell you how I feel about others ratings! <br /> <br />5 STARS....This recipe was excellant, we liked it very much, the directions were very clear and if I made any minor substitutions I noted it. It would most likely be made again, many times! <br /> <br />4 STARS....This recipe was good, we liked it but I made changes either in taste or it was not clear in something, but I would consider making it again. <br /> <br />3 STARS....This recipe was not something that got approval from the majority. Either it just didnt work in preparation, directions, or taste. I will tell you why and would not make it again unless I altered it much! <br /> <br />2, 1 STARS.....I DO NOT give these as I feel they are NOT worthy....especially if the recipe previously had good reviews and by my giving a low one would jeopardize the ratings. I would appreciate this reciprocated with reviews to my recipes. <br /> <br />0 STARS....COMMENTS I will leave no stars and comments on something that did not work out for me and I will be honest and tell you why. <br /> <br />I DETEST IT WHEN PEOPLE CHANGE YOUR RECIPE OR DONT EVEN MAKE IT THEN LEAVE YOU LOW REVIEWS. PEOPLE WHO DO THAT ARE JUST BEING VINDICTIVE OR JUST PLAIN STUPIDLY CRUEL. Examples of some I've gotten would be: 1 star...This doesnt sound like something we would like 2 stars...too sweet for me, (this was on a all 5 star recipe). <br /> <br /> <br />Now for the details: <br />I was born, raised and still live in the same midwestern town where comfort food is what we thrive on, however my dream is to retire to the northwoods of Wisconsin.. (the sooner the better IMHO)! <br /> <br />I relish a recipe that is simple, quick and tastes great as I am a divorced mom to 4 very busy, active young adults (27, 25, 20 year old daughters and a 21 year old son.) Cooking time is at a premium as everyone is so busy, I never usually know who will be at my house for supper! I also try to find things that will reheat well. <br /> <br />I have worked for 30 years in the accounting field and presently semi retired. It is very nice for a change to not have to deal with the everyday stress of deadlines and office politics! It has been great cooking for pleasure, at my leisure, instead of to feed the troops! <br /> <br />Cooking relaxes me so I do it often and I love to cook for people who appreciate it. It is nothing for me to start a recipe at 10pm right before bedtime, and yes I have cooked all nite. Kind of a marathon!! <br /> <br />Cookbooks are my passion and I can't resist the ones that churches, schools etc. put together and well as the ones in the grocery stores. My collection numbers well over 2000 and where as some people go to bed with a good novel, my nightstand is full of cookbooks! <br /> <br />I love to bake and its nothing for me to make 15-20 different kinds of cookies and candies for the holidays. I guess that it has rubbed off on my oldest daughter who is a culinary school graduate and knee deep in pastry classes, hoping to become a pastry chef! <br /> <br />In March of 2002 I had gastric bypass, weight loss surgery and I have lost 125 pounds FOREVER, so now when I do cook it IS for everyone else to enjoy. <br /> <br />I love Zaar and all the friends I have made here, this sight is so addictive but yet so much fun! And the recipes aren't bad either..LOL! I know that in the years since Ive been a permanent fixture of this site I have acquired many great recipes and tons of cooks that I am proud to call my friends! I have also tried many foods that years ago I would never have even imagined.</p>
