This is one of my favourite cold salads and super simple to mix up.

Japanese Cabbage Salad

1/2 c. sliced or slivered almonds
2 tbsp. sesame seeds
1/2 a med. head of cabbage (shredded)
12 oz. fresh bean sprouts
2 c. fresh mushrooms
2 green onions chopped
1/4c. sunflower seeds

1 pkg instant noodles (any flavour)

Dressing:
the instant noodle seasoning
1/2c. cooking oil
2-4tbsp. soy sauce
3 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

*everything can be mixed ahead of time, but save the noodles until you are ready to eat as they can become soggy.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can always change the ingredients some (eg: leave out the muchrooms or add cooked cubed chicken breast).

Hope you enjoy!

Chicken curry salad
cubed chicken or turkey
diced red onion
diced celery
golden raisins
mayo
curry powder

Mix up to taste, or amount.
We use this as a wrap filling, lay out the wrap, use lettuce, spinach, and shredded carrots, put the "spread " on the lettuce or spinach, sprinkle the carrots on and roll. Can use lettuce for the wrapper.
