    Okay. Let’s talk about this salad really fast.

    I’m including it in this 31-Minutes Meals series for a few reasons. But there’s a ‘but.’

    This Asian Ramen Noodle Salad is so so so good. Not only because of the rich flavor of the homemade dressing. But because it’s CHEAP.

    Cole slaw is cheap. Ramen is cheap. (Yes, I toss the seasoning packet. Ick.) Chicken (when bought on sale!) is cheap. Saute the chicken and toss it all together with a great homemade dressing and BAM. Dinner in less than 31 minutes.

    BUT.

    I would suggest that you mix up the chicken, cole slaw with the dressing the day before and let it all soak together before you serve it. This is one of those “tastes better the 2nd day” kind of salads. (Just don’t add the Ramen noodles until right before you serve it so they are nice and crunchy.)

    Or just double it up so you’ll have plenty of 2nd day, delicious leftovers!
