Ramen Noodle Salad

A vibrant and refreshing salad featuring ramen noodles, mandarin oranges, avocado, and a crunchy mixture of greens and almonds, all tossed in a flavorful dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packs of ramen noodles
  • 1 cup of mandarin oranges (canned or fresh)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup of almonds, toasted
  • 2 cups of mixed salad greens
  • 1/4 cup of red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup of green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add in the ramen noodles and cook them according to the package instructions (about 3-5 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. While the noodles are cooling, prep all your add-ins: dice the avocado, slice the red bell pepper and green onions, and open your can of mandarin oranges.
  3. Toast the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  4. Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until well combined.
  5. Add the cooled noodles, mixed greens, red bell pepper, green onions, mandarin oranges, diced avocado, and toasted almonds to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss to combine.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and enjoy fresh or chilled.

Notes

This salad can be made a few hours ahead of serving. Keep the dressing separate until just before serving.
