Oriental Cabbage Salad

Salad

3/4 head of Cabbage chopped (or a bag and a half coleslaw from the bagged salads)

4 Green onions chopped

2 packages Ramen noodles crushed

1 cup cashews

All of these ingrients are to taste.

Dressing

1/3 cup veg. oil

1/4 cup vinegar

1 seasoning package from your Ramen noodles (I have used beef and chicken and like them both)

2 Tbs. Sugar.

I like to wait till the last min. to add the Ramen and the nuts so the dressing doesn't make them soggy. You can also add canned chicken to make it more of a main dish.
