Oriental Salad

This is a salad my mom often made for events like baby showers. It is a nice light salad and a great addition to any meal!


Salad:

1/2 head white cabbage
1/2 head purple cabbage
6 green onions (chopped)
3/4 C (or more) slivered almonds
8 Tbsp sesame seeds
2 pkgs Top Ramen Noodles

Put cabbage and onions in a ziploc bag. Brown almonds and sesame seeds in pan (no oil). Put in ziploc. Crunch up Top Ramen and add to ziploc.

Dressing:

4 Tbsp sugar
1 tap salt
1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp pepper
1/2 C salad oil

Keep dressing separate from salad until ready to serve. Mix. Enjoy!

Mandarin Orange Salad

This is a Thanksgiving Tradition that my mom makes every year. I don't care for the coconut, but I LOVE tradition! Something I learned from my mom growing up, is how good sour cream is with different kinds of sugar! It makes a great dip, or, in this case, a "dressing".

2 small cans mandarin oranges (drained)
2 cans (20oz) pineapple chunks (drained)
1/2 C coconut
1/2 - 3/4 pkg mini marshmallows
16 oz sour cream
1/2 C powdered sugar

Mix together all ingredients and chill until served.
