Salad -- Jaime
Simi Salad
Toast in the oven:

  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1.5 cups slivered almonds

Stir into:

  • 3-4 bags of shredded cabbage, feel free to use a bag of broccoli slaw for variety
  • 4 packages of ramen noodles (set seasoning packets aside)
  • 1 cup chopped green onions
Dressing: 
  • 1.5 cups EVOO
  • 6 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1.5 tsp pepper
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 4 packages ramen seasoning packets
Mix dressing into salad 1/2 cup at a time, taking care not to overdress the salad which will spoil its delicious crunch.  The salad is more flavorful after it has set for at least 24 hours.
