MORE CRUNCH FOR YOUR MUNCH CHINESE SALAD
I make this for our potluck at church and people beg me to bring it again! Adapted from Cooking Live-Episode: America's Best Fourth of July: Salads. Update: I hve found I can toast the seeds, ramen noodles, and nuts under the broiler with no butter for just a few minutes, and they get nice and crisp, but watch carefully, they can burn quickly!

Steps:
- Mix cabbage, scallions and carrots in a large bowl, set aside.

Or alternatively, place on baking sheet-without the butter, and broil for just a few minutes, watching carefully so they don't burn(lower your fat intake!).

CRUNCHY CHINESE CUCUMBER SALAD
A lovely crunchy salad which takes a bit more time than a simple cucumber salad, but it's really worth it! Goes well as a starter or a side dish with a chinese meal. Cooking time includes leaving the cucumbers in salted water for 20 minutes and standing time (to develop the flavour of the salad) of 2 hours.

CHINESE SALAD
When I looked at this salad I was skeptical that I would like it because I'm not a fan of salads that only contain spinach but this was super delicious. The raisins give it that tiny little sweetness and the crunch of the cashews are lovely.
