Cabbage Salad

This recipe is always a big hit when I make it! I like to make it for potlucks or when there is company because the leftovers can get a little soggy and aren't as good.

Cabbage Salad
1 head cabbage (or buy bag of shredded cabbage)
2 to 3 green onions
3 to 4 chicken breasts, cooked and cut up
3 to 4 pkg Top Ramen noodles (chicken flavor)
1/2 cup almonds
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 cup oil
3 packets chicken flavoring (from Top Ramen)
3 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp vinegar

Shred cabbage; put in large bowl and add green onions and chicken. Toast crushed Ramen noodles, almonds and sesame seeds on cookie sheet for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Watch very closely; can burn very easily. Add to cabbage mixture. Mix oil, flavor packets, sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar. Pour over salad just before serving. Toss and serve.

People are always asking for this recipe when I make it. I'm telling you, it is delicious! You can use it as a side dish, but I have been known to eat it as my main meal as well.

Yummy Chicken Salad

I got this recipe from a girl in my ward and have made it a couple times and it is always a hit.

Chicken Salad

2 cans boneless white chicken (break up the chicken with your fingers or fork)
1 cup chopped celery ( I use a food chopper so it is nice and chopped....;)
1 cup red seedless grapes (I cut them into halves)
I cup chopped cashews (again, I use a food chopper)
2 cups of mayo
salt and pepper and onion salt to taste

Mix all the above ingredients together in a large bowl and enjoy on bread or croissants.

Last time I made it I grated a carrot into it and it turned out great! I know what you are thinking....canned chicken doesn't sound that great, but it really is good, I promise!
