It’s loaded up with broccoli slaw, craisins, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds. It makes for a really great side dish at a summer party or as a light lunch, add chicken too if you want!

Can I make this and refrigerate over night
Rebecca Hubbell says
You can but know that the noodles will get really soft and lose their crunchiness.
Sue says
I made this for a work holiday get together. It was delicious and was a fresh addition to the meal.
Jenny says
Has anybody tried this with coconut oil?

Can I substitute the Vegetable Ramen…we have Vegans in our family.
Rebecca Hubbell says
Yes, vegetable ramen should work just fine 🙂
Traci says
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!

Elaine K says
I love this recipe. I did make a change though, I use Zesty Italian salad dressing.
Ginger says
Simple and delicious. The hardest part is breaking up the ramen noodles. I’ll be sure to make this one again. Thanks.
Rebecca says
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.
Katie says
Can this be refrigerated for a while or should it be served immediately?
Rebecca says
Yes, you can refrigerate it!
Marla Meridith says
This salad is so going to happen in my world!
Rebecca says
Enjoy it!
Kelly says
I just made this and it seems very bitter and “vinegary”. Will it sweeten up as it rests? Should I add more sugar?
Rebecca says
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?
Jackie says
What is in Broccoli Slaw?
Rebecca says
It’s a mix of broccoli, cabbage, and carrots, I believe. Green Giant sells it as a pre-packages mix.
Sandy says
Have had this salad at dsummer outings but never got the recipe. Thank you.
Rebecca says
You are so welcome, that seems to be a common theme with this recipe!
Darcey says
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!
Rebecca says
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.
Darcey says
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! 🙂
Rebecca says
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!
Miquela says
So since it’s 12 ounces of Ramen, is that 4 packages???
Rebecca Hubbell says
Yes!
Lynn | The Road to Honey says
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.
Rebecca says
Exactly, no excuses whatsoever.
Megan @ MegUnprocessed says
Love the colors!
Rebecca says
Thanks, Megan!
