Ramen Noodle & Cabbage Salad

Submitted by gingersnap

"Nice change from the usual Italian pasta salad or macaroni salad with mayo. Pairs well with salmon or honey mustard/teriyaki chicken or pork. Nice summer side dish and a huge hit at potlucks. It makes a lot, too."

This is the exact recipe used at a recent gathering (only oriental flavor was used) and it's delish! All 7 of us asked for the recipee, we love it! This recipe will serve 6-12 depending on appetites and if it is a side dish or main meatless meal. I think 16 is stretching it a bit. Easy to make and can be endless in variations. Mandarin orange slices are my preference. Rice or apple cider vinigars are fine substitutes. Don't overcook the noodles, al dente is better.
