Ramen Noodle Salad

Ramen-Noodle-Salad-2

Ramen noodle salad is one of those highly requested pot luck recipes. Inexpensive ramen noodles make a wonderful addition to this salad, also known as Oriental Coleslaw.

The toasted almonds and seeds, along with the balsamic vinegar (a beloved dressing of many, with its dark complex flavors) add even more taste.
