I’ve always loved Ramen salad. There’s something delicious and horrible about it… delicious because it’s full of that college staple, and horrible because it’s drenched in high-calorie dressing.
Honestly, I haven’t had it in years, but every time I see it on Pinterest, I crave it.
So… I decided to make my own healthier version, and this is what I came up with.
I’ve posted quite a few Asian salads here on NTTC, because I just love them. This one, I have to say is the easiest of the bunch to make. It is a simple mixture of fresh veggies and store-bought dressing + crushed up Ramen. So tasty… and so reminiscent of that unhealthy salad I used to love.
