Can I make this and refrigerate over night
You can but know that the noodles will get really soft and lose their crunchiness.
I made this for a work holiday get together. It was delicious and was a fresh addition to the meal.
Has anybody tried this with coconut oil?
I put some chopped pecans in mine. Adding almonds or walnuts the next time. Quick and easy. Great summer salad. Thank you
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Mary!
Can I substitute the Vegetable Ramen…we have Vegans in our family.
Yes, vegetable ramen should work just fine 🙂
Omgosh, I could go for a giant bowl of this salad for lunch today. In fact I would completely devour it in one setting. It’s just my kind of meal. Pinning now!
this looks so fresh and yummy! i love the added crunch and texture from the noodles!
Welcome back home and congrats on the reunion! Such a great recipe for a fantastic occasion – cheers!
I am so glad your friends moved back again so you can see them more often 🙂 This salad looks so yum, what a great way to enjoy veggies.
This looks like a crunchy, delicious salad! I can’t wait for summer! Relaxing on the pario!
Yes, it’s perfect for summer!
I love this recipe. I did make a change though, I use Zesty Italian salad dressing.
Simple and delicious. The hardest part is breaking up the ramen noodles. I’ll be sure to make this one again. Thanks.
So glad you enjoyed it, Ginger! I usually break the ramen noodles up in the bag with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer and gently pound them until crushed.
Can this be refrigerated for a while or should it be served immediately?
Yes, you can refrigerate it!
This salad is so going to happen in my world!
Enjoy it!
I just made this and it seems very bitter and “vinegary”. Will it sweeten up as it rests? Should I add more sugar?
Hi Kelly,
It shouldn’t be super bitter, you’ll definitely get a zing from the vinegar, but it should be slightly sweet too. Definitely try mixing in a few more tablespoons of sugar to see if that helps. What kind of vinegar did you use?
What is in Broccoli Slaw?
It’s a mix of broccoli, cabbage, and carrots, I believe. Green Giant sells it as a pre-packages mix.
Have had this salad at dsummer outings but never got the recipe. Thank you.
You are so welcome, that seems to be a common theme with this recipe!
Couple of (silly) questions…. You don’t cook the Ramen, right? And do you use the seasoning packets in the Ramen or just the noodles? Thanks!
Hi Darcey, I’ve updated the recipe to be a little more clear. But you are correct, you don’t cook the noodles and you DO add the seasonings.
Thank you! Your link was shared on FB by the “Real Housemoms” and I was even happier to discover you were a Maine girl too! 🙂
Hey Darcey, so glad you found me! I’m a Maine girl born and raised and it’s always nice to meet readers from this beautiful state I call home! Don’t be shy!
So since it’s 12 ounces of Ramen, is that 4 packages???
Yes!
This is such a beautiful salad. I love all the colors and textures and since it is so quick and easy to make. . .well this means there are no excuses not to be whipping this up on the regular.
Exactly, no excuses whatsoever.
Love the colors!
Thanks, Megan!
