SALAD
1/2 head of savoy cabbage, shredded (or your favorite)
1/2 head of purple cabbage, shredded
5 - 7 medium green onions, chopped
1/2 - 3/4 c carrots, shredded or matchsticks
1 c almonds, slivered or sliced
1/2 c sunflower seeds
2 pkg oriental ramen noodles
2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted or plain (for top of salad before serving)
DRESSING
1 c oil
1/2 c seasoned rice vinegar
1/4 c sugar (or more according to your taste)
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp sriracha hot chili sauce (optional)
1/2 - 1 Tbsp oriental flavoring mix from packet of noodles
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Chop up your 2 different cabbages
2. Mix the ingredients of your salad dressing and pour into a glass jar w/lid and shake till it is combined or use a wire whisk to combine.
3. Add all your ingredients for your salad except for sesame seeds and toss together in a bowl.
4. Pour some of your dressing over salad and toss and then decide if you need more or not. Just before serving add your sesame seeds to the top for garnish.
5. If I am taking this salad to serve at a picnic I wait about an hour before serving to add the ramen noodles and sesame seeds on top. Here is the finished salad we served today for the 4th of July at my parents camp in Cooks Forest. It is such a colorful and crunchy salad.
