top ramen salad
This has been a favorite in my house for thirty years! As a young mom, I was always on the hunt for quick and simple salads my kids would eat, and this is from a cookbook the women of Harvest put together over thirty years ago. My family loved it then and they love it now!
Memorial Day is just around the corner and this is our go-to salad for every picnic and family gathering. My copy of Treasured Recipes from Harvest is tattered and much-loved, and it’s also out of print! So I’m happy to share this updated recipe with you!
Ingredients
For salad:
1 head cabbage, thinly sliced
3 fresh chicken breasts, cooked and cut to bite sized pieces
1 bunch green onions, chopped
4 pkg Top Ramen Chicken soup
2-4 tbsp slivered almonds or sesame seeds
For Dressing:
1 cup oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 packets Top Ramen soup seasoning
1-2 cloves fresh garlic, diced or mashed
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp agave syrup
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together shredded cabbage, chicken, and chopped onions.
- For the dressing, add all the ingredients in a blender, Bullet or Vitamix. Blend on high for several minutes until all the ingredients are well emulsified.
- Pour dressing over the salad and mix together.
- Break ramen noodles into small pieces, toss in the slivered almonds. Sprinkle over the salad just before serving.

This is one of my favorites DOR the summer. If you want to change it up a tad you can add pineapple (use the juice) to marinade the chicken the fruit in the salad.

Hi Lynn, thanks for asking! The Harvest cookbook was a ministry project we did in the 1980's and it's out of print. From time to time, we will share some of the classic recipes here.

I just want to give a shout out to the Women’s ministry at Harvest. Praise God for your continued faithfulness to teaching and discipling women. We left So Cal long ago, but I will be forever grateful to you all for your rock solid teaching. Modern technology allows me to tune in to Harvest now and then. Stephanie was my group leader back in 1988-89. You were awesome Stephanie, and I’m sure you still are! And I do still have my cookbook!
