The Other Ramen Noodle Chicken Salad image

Sick and tired of the same old Ramen noodle chicken salad? This one is very different - it contains fruit and no cabbage. This does not keep long, so plan to eat this the same day. Adapted from Best of the Best from Colorado.

Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3 ounce) package chicken-flavored ramen noodles (save the seasoning packet and the oil packet, if included)
1 -2 teaspoon sesame oil, if needed
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar (brown sugar Splenda is fine)
1/2 cup seedless grapes, cut into halves (either red or green or mixture)
1/4 cup red apples or 1/4 cup green apple, unpeeled, diced
1/4 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh chives, snipped or 1 1/2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
4 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, poached and diced
1/8 cup walnuts, chopped (or other nut of your choice)

Steps:

  • Cook noodles without adding the seasonings or oil that come with the package (reserve those), otherwise following the package directions.
  • Rinse cooked noodles with cold water until cold and drain well.
  • Add the oil from the noodle package (or drizzle with 1-2 tsp sesame oil if your doesn't come with oil).
  • Be careful- sometimes the oil that comes with the ramen is hot chili oil; if so use sesame oil instead.
  • Chill noodles while preparing the dressing.
  • Mix together lemon juice, canola oil, the dry seasoning packet from the Ramen soup, and the sugar.
  • Mix together the chilled noodles, fruit, chives, and chicken.
  • Add dressing and toss to coat.
  • Stir in nuts or just sprinkle over each serving.
