Crunchy Ramen Salad

Holy crap, the heatwave going through Queensland, Australia at the moment is ridiculous! I have never sweated so much doing so little. And of course we live in a old renovated house with no  air-conditioning. So the idea of standing in the kitchen cooking dinner tonight is more than undesirable. Instead I am trying out a new recipe that only takes 5 mins to prepare and means I don't have to literally sweat over a hot stove to get a healthy filling meal on the table tonight.

So this is my crunchy ramen salad. With only 6 ingredients, 3 of which is in every kitchen at least.

Ingredient's:

1 bag of coleslaw mix

2 packs ramen noodles ( any flavour as seasoning packet not used)

3-5 spring onions (scallions) sliced

3/4 cups vegetable oil

1/3 cup white vinegar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

1) mix together the white vinegar, vegetable oil and sugar in a bowl.

2) crush up the packets of ramen noodles. Add to coleslaw mix in a large bowl.

3) slice up spring onions and add to coleslaw mix.

4) pour the oil, vinegar and sugar mix and toss well until everything is evenly coated.

5) chill in fridge for 1-2 hours minimum. Serve either cold or room temp.

Overall this recipe was very simple and quick, which tonight is all I wanted. This is also a very budget friendly meal as well. With most people already having half of the ingredients already in their pantry. This is also a perfect salad for a picnic or to take to a party/event as it can be served cold or room temp. To fancy up the salad you could try adding sunflower seeds, sliced almonds, dried cranberries or any other fruits and nuts of choice.
