Crunchy Ramen Noodle Salad features uncooked Ramen noodles – yup, that 49 cent package! – crushed up directly into a salad for a delicious crunch! With rotisserie chicken (or tofu), vegetables, and peanuts, it’s all tossed in a ginger soy dressing. This is a one-bowl, no-cook, 15 minute, full-meal dinner salad with delicious flavor and texture!
My mother used to make this when I was growing up, and believe me, I was skeptical at first too.
It might sound strange, but crunching uncooked ramen noodles into a salad is actually delicious! It’s crunchy – but not TOO crunchy – adding substance and a crouton-like texture to this east Asian-inspired salad.
Rotisserie chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, corn, green onions, and chopped up peanuts make up the rest of the salad. Everything is tossed in an easy honey soy ginger dressing that you probably already have the ingredients for.
So toss that seasoning packet (and its over 1500 mg of sodium – eek!) and put that 49 cent package of ramen noodles to good use in this easy, hearty, healthy salad. The perfect no-cook dinner for a hot summer’s day!
